Cork have at least named the same 15 that lost out to Kerry for Sunday’s Sam Maguire Group 1 final round game against Mayo in TUS Gaelic Grounds.

John Cleary has announced he will be sticking with his guns for the game where Cork could yet qualify automatically for the All-Ireland quarter-finals should they win and Kerry fail to beat Louth in Portlaoise.

Cleary is able to call on Conor Corbett again and the Clyda Rovers man is included among the substitutes along with Steven Sherlock.

Kevin Flahive and Blake Murphy aren’t in the 26-man matchday squad and are replaced by Corbett and Tommy Walsh.

Mayo’s named team to face Cork on Sunday shows three changes from the 15 that began the narrow win over Louth last day out, meanwhile.

Diarmuid O’Connor is among the substitutes as Pádraig O’Hora comes in and Stephen Coen shifts to midfield. Captain Paddy Durcan and Fionn McDonagh come into the team at the expense of Donnacha McHugh and Jason Doherty, who are also in the replacements.

Durcan is set to make his 50th championship appearance on Sunday.
