Cork remain unchanged for Limerick showdown as Waterford show hand for Tipperary

Meanwhile, the Dublin hurling team has also been named for their Leinster SHC clash with Kildare.

CORK HAVE NAMED an unchanged side for their Munster SHC round-robin clash with Limerick this Sunday at Páirc Uí Chaoim [throw-in, 2pm].

Manager Ben O’Connor has opted to stick with the same team that defeated All-Ireland champions Tipperary last weekend, with Patrick Collins slotting in between the posts.

Niall O’Leary, Ciarán Joyce and Seán O’Donoghue make up the full-back line while Eoin and Rob Downey join Mark Coleman on the half-back line.

Alan Connolly, William Buckley and Brian Hayes combine once again on the full-forward line.

Waterford have also unveiled their team for Sunday’s crucial clash with Tipperary as both sides look to bounce back from opening-round defeats. Iarlaith Daly comes into the starting team as Michael Kiely makes way.

Meanwhile, the Dublin hurling team has also been unveiled for their Leinster SHC round-robin meeting with Kildare on Sunday at Parnell Park [throw-in, 3pm]. Conor Groarke and Dara Purcell come into the team to replace John Bellew and Dónal Burke.
