Cork and Kerry teams in for Munster football final

Both sides have made changes from their semi-final victories.

LAST UPDATE | 8 May

CORK HAVE MADE three changes from the side that beat Tipperary ahead of this weekend’s Munster Championship football final against Kerry.

Patrick Doyle starts in goal for the Rebels, while midfielder Colm O’Callaghan and forward Ruairí Deane also enter the fray.

Micheál Aodh Martin, Sean Walsh and Conor Cahalane all drop to the Cork bench.

There are also spots among the subs for Mattie Taylor and Conor Daly, who return from injury, although the game comes too soon for Brian Hurley and Dara Sheedy who miss out.

Kerry are without a handful of key men for the final showdown.

Kingdom manager Jack O’Connor starts with 13 of the side from the semi-final defeat of Clare last month.

A groin issue has forced Tom O’Sullivan out while Shane Ryan, Paul Murphy, Brian Ó Beaglaoich, Joe O’Connor, Seán O’Shea and Graham O’Sullivan are also out of contention.

Cillian Trant drops to the bench with Evan Looney getting the nod, while Seán O’Brien replaces Diarmuid O’Connor in midfield as the Na Gaeil man moves to wing forward.
