Cork keep the faith for final clash with Galway

The Cork senior hurling selectors last night gave a resounding vote of confidence to the team that started the semi-final against Clare for Sunday’s Guinness All-Ireland final showdown with Galway at Croke Park.

Left half-forward Timmy McCarthy, full-forward Brian Corcoran, centre-back Ronan Curran, and right half-forward Kieran Murphy of Sarsfields, who were replaced by Kieran Murphy of Erins Own, Neil Ronan, Wayne Sherlock and Jonathan O’Callaghan in the penultimate stage, are all back in favour.
