Griffin returns for Cork as All-Ireland U21 hurling finalists name their teams

The Munster neighbours will clash in Sunday evening’s decider at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick (5.30pm).

LAST UPDATE | Aug 24th 2018, 10:00 PM

TIPPERARY AND CORK have announced their sides for this weekend’s Bord Gáis Energy All-Ireland U21 hurling final.

The teams will meet for the second time this season in Sunday’s decider at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick (5.30pm).

Tipp will be bidding for revenge after suffering a 13-point defeat to their neighbours in the Munster final in July.

Premier County boss Liam Cahill has opted to keep faith with the same team that started their win against Galway in the All-Ireland semi-final.

Attacker Mark Kehoe is among those included after having the red card he received in the clash with the Tribesmen overturned last week.

There’s one personnel change to the Cork team that booked their place in the final at the expense of Wexford, with David Griffin named at full-back.

Griffin hasn’t played since the Munster U21 final after damaging his hamstring in a senior training session with Cork before their All-Ireland semi-final.

Ger Millerick will subsequently move from full-back to midfield to partner Darrgh Fitzgibbon, with John Cashman the player making way.

Declan Dalton and Daire Connery were also injury concerns for Cork boss Denis Ring, but Dalton has been selected at centre-forward and Connery is among the substitutes.

The Rebels have also included last year’s minor star Brian Turnbull on the bench. Turnbull scored 1-7 in the 2017 All-Ireland minor final defeat to Galway but had been sidelined until recently after rupturing his anterior cruciate knee ligament.
