The hamstring injury that has ruled out Cork U20 full-back Daire O’Leary has led to one personnel change and three positional switches on the Cork team for tomorrow's All-Ireland U20 hurling final (Semple Stadium, 7.30pm).

Ciaran Joyce, who was outstanding at centre-back in Cork’s two Munster outings, drops to full-back to fill the void left by O’Leary, with Ethan Twomey moving from right half-back to centre-back. Brian O’Sullivan is relocated from midfield to half-back, with Diarmuid Kearney, who was used off the bench in the Munster semi-final win over Tipperary, coming into the side at midfield.
