Cork football boss John Cleary has named captain Brian Hurley in his side for the Munster championship meeting with Clare in Ennis on Sunday (Throw-in, 2pm).

The Castlehaven sharpshooter has been struggling with a shoulder injury in the last number of weeks, and even told the Irish Examiner on Thursday, that he was "in limbo mode", with reference to his participation this Sunday.
