Fitzgerald opts to go with same XV

Clare have gone with the same side, for the third game in succession, to face Cork in tomorrow’s All-Ireland final replay.

Since the semi-final win over Limerick, Davy Fitzgerald has started the same 15 and will again tomorrow at Croke Park.

Darach Honan was the first player replaced three weeks ago, for Cathal McInerney in the 61st minute, but Honan is selected again at full-forward. In a jersey change, Conor Ryan wears eight and Colm Galvin nine.

All four players who were on the U21 team that beat Antrim in last Saturday week’s All-Ireland final in Thurles — David McInerney, Colm Galvin, Tony Kelly and Podge Collins are fit to start.

Like the first game, Clare are expected to travel to Dublin the morning of the game.
