Cian Kiely will start the Munster SFC final as Cork as Ronan McCarthy has made one change for the trip to Fitzgerald Stadium.

Daniel O'Mahony misses out as Ballincollig's Kiely, who was the first sub on against Limerick, goes into the half-back line.

Sean Meehan is named at full-back with Sean Powter at number 6.

On Firday night, Peter Keane has selected the same team that started the Munster semi-final win over Tipperary for Sunday’s clash in Killarney.

Captain Paul Murphy is set for the bench again while Tony Brosnan is among the replacements after recovering from injury, and is among the reserves at the expense of his Dr Crokes club-mate David Shaw.
