Cork have made two changes from the side that beat Tipperary for Friday evening’s Munster minor hurling final against Waterford in Thurles (7.35pm throw-in).

Denis Fitzgerald and Callum Coffey come in for Tom O’Flynn and Sam Ring as the county look to claim their first provincial MHC crown in four years.

Waterford, who are seeking to bridge a 16-year gap to their last minor title in Munster, bring in Caoilinn Reville for Tommy Kennedy.

From their group game last month when Cork won by six points in Páirc Uí Rinn, The Rebels show one alteration – Seán Coughlan for Ryan Dineen – and The Déise go with Reville and Jack Power instead of Kennedy and Pierce Quann.
