Ryan opts for tried and tested

CORK boss Eamonn Ryan has given a vote of confidence to the 15 starters who edged out Mayo in the semi-final for Cork’s All-Ireland five-in-a-row bid against Dublin at Croke Park on Sunday.

The side features 12 of the team that ousted Monaghan in last year’s decider, with defensive pair Rena Buckley and Ciara O’Sullivan, and attacker Rhona Buckley the new players into the frame.

CORK (Ladies SF v Dublin): E Harte; Rena Buckley, A Walsh, G O’Flynn; B Corkery, B Stack, C O’Sullivan; J Murphy, N Kelly; N Cleary, D O’Reilly, A O’Shea; M O’Connor (capt), V Mulcahy, Rhona Buckley.
