Cork make one change for Munster junior football decider against Kerry

Don O’Driscoll misses the final as he is in America for the summer.

CORK HAVE NAMED their team for Tuesday’s Munster junior football championship final against Kerry.

Paul McCarthy has made one change to his starting XV for the provincial decider at Pairc Ui Rinn with Roy Downey replacing Don O’Driscoll, who is spending the summer in America.

Downey scored three points when he came off the bench in the semi-final victory over Waterford in May and will add firepower to the Rebels midfield as they look to dethrone Kerry.
