BEN O’CONNOR HAS named an unchanged Cork team for Sunday’s Munster final against Limerick (SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, 2pm – RTÉ2).
Captain Darragh Fitzgibbon misses out due to his ongoing recovery from appendix surgery, meaning Mark Coleman captains a side bidding to retain their title.
The only switch to the matchday panel from their 16-point dismissal of Clare sees Declan Dalton drop out of the 26. The Fr O’Neills forward picked up an injury at training on Tuesday.
He is replaced by Brian Roche, who hasn’t featured since January as he worked his way back from an ankle injury.
13. Alan Connolly (Blackrock), 14. Brian Hayes (St Finbarr’s), 15. William Buckley (St Finbarr’s).

16. Paudie O’Sullivan (Fr O’Neill’s)

23. Alan Walsh (Kanturk)
24. Shane Kingston (Douglas)

26. Pádraig Power (Blarney)
Meanwhile, Niall Ó Ceallacháin has announced three changes to the Dublin team that defeated Kilkenny for Saturday’s Leinster final against Galway (Croke Park, 6pm – RTÉ2).
Eoghan O’Donnell and Liam Rushe, who were late withdrawals against the Cats, are included at corner-back and centre-back respectively. Conor McHugh and John Bellew, who started in their places, are listed on the bench.
