Star trio make Rebels return against Galway

Cork attackers Joe Deane, Niall McCarthy and Neil Ronan - who all missed out on last weekend's National Hurling League defeat to in-form Clare - return to the starting line-up for Sunday's clash with Galway at Páirc Ui Chaoimh.

Deane is back in his usual left corner-forward position, with McCarthy leading the attack in place of Pat Mulcahy. Ronan replaces Erins Own's Kieran Murphy at left half-forward.

John Browne comes in for Cian O'Connor at left corner-back, while Kevin Hartnett replaces Graham Callinan at right half-back.

John Gardiner deputises in the heart of defence for Ronan Curran, while Ben O'Connor is at right half-forward, with Sarsfields' Kieran Murphy moving from top of the left to top of the right.

CORK (SH v Galway): D Óg Cusack; B Murphy, D O'Sullivan, J Browne; K Harnett, J Gardiner, S Óg Ó hAilpín; J O'Connor, T Kenny; B O'Connor, N McCarthy, N Ronan; K Murphy, B Corcoran, J Deane.
