For their do-or-die All-Ireland SFC clash with Roscommon on Saturday, the announced Cork team is the same that started the recent defeat to Kerry.

Conor Corbett is a welcome addition among the substitutes for the Group 4 game in Portlaoise that Cork simply must win to ensure they remain in the championship.

Cleary and Cork embark on latest season-defining mission, but it's different this time

Seán Brady, Seán Walsh and captain Brian Hurley were late additions to the team that were beaten by Kerry in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and it would not be surprising if there are further 11th hour alterations ahead of this clash in Laois Hire O’Moore Park.
