Patrick Doyle returns to goal for Cork as does Colm O'Callaghan to midfield and Ruairí Deane is set to start in Sunday’s Munster SFC final against Kerry in Fitzgerald Stadium.

Doyle takes over from Micheál Aodh Martin, O'Callaghan replaces Seán Walsh and Bantry Blues man Deane replaces Conor Cahalane in three personnel switches from the semi-final win over Tipperary last month.

As expected, Brian Hurley and Dara Sheedy are not available and Hurley’s place in the squad is taken by Clonakilty’s Conor Daly. Cathail O’Mahony is also missing but Matthew Taylor is available again and is among the substitutes.

From the team that lost to Kerry in their previous championship game in last year’s All-Ireland SFC group stages in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, there are nine due to start again - Seán Meehan, Daniel O’Mahony, Brian O’Driscoll, Maurice Shanley, Ian Maguire, Colm O’Callaghan, Seánie McDonnell, Chris Óg Jones and Mark Cronin.

Meanwhile, Galway make four changes from the starting team against Leitrim for Sunday’s Connacht SFC final. Among them are Shane Walsh and Seán Kelly.

Jack Glynn and Daniel O’Flaherty also come in and going out are Seán Fitzgerald, Seán Ó Mhaoilchiaráin, Finnian Ó Laoi and Oisin MacDonnacha. Fitzgerald and MacDonnacha are not in the panel.
