Murphy earns recall for Rebels as Kenny misses out

Cork make one change ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland clash with Clare — Brian Murphy completes a recovery from a broken collarbone to line out at right-half-back in place of Tom Kenny.

There was intense speculation about Murphy’s availability, and with manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy indicating Cork could spring him from the bench if he needed in the semi-final against Dublin, the Bride Rovers club man was always likely to start this weekend.

Cork will be particularly happy to see him back to face the in-form Tony Kelly of Clare. When the teams met in the Munster championship, Murphy marked Kelly and reduced his effectiveness considerably.
