Updated at 17.05pm

CORK HAVE UNVEILED their team that will welcome Allianz football league champions Dublin for the opening game of this season’s campaign next Sunday.

11 of the side that started last year’s All-Ireland quarter-final loss to Mayo are named in the team for next Sunday’s game against Dublin in Páirc Uí Rinn.

The four new inclusions are centre-forward Donncha O’Connor – who came on against Mayo and struck 1-3 – corner-back Tomás Clancy, wing-back Jamie O’Sullivan and full-forward Donal Óg Hodnett.

Cork will be seeking to atone for the defeat they suffered against Dublin in last year’s league semi-final. Cork were ahead by 10 points in that match but ended up losing out by 2-20 to 2-13.

Four members of Cork’s team were in Sigerson Cup action this week with Tomás Clancy, Brian O’Driscoll and Ian Maguire playing for the UCC team that defeated Cork IT, who had Donal Óg Hodnett in action.

Following last weekend’s semi-final win over Clare, William Kearney will replace Conor O’Sullivan at corner-back. The other change sees Paul Haughney starting at the expense of Peter Kelleher.
