OLD RIVALS CORK and Kerry have each made two changes to their starting line-ups for Wednesday evening’s Munster junior football final at Páirc Uí Rinn.
Darren Murphy and Seamus Hickey have been handed starts in the Cork team at full-back and full-forward respectively.
In the reshuffle, both Colm Hyde and Paul Condon drop to the subs bench from the team that defeated Limerick in the semi-final.
The Kerry line-up also shows two changes, and a number of positional switches, from the selection that beat Tipperary in the semi-final.

David Culhane replaces Greg Gibson and Brian Crowley is in for Denis Daly. Both Gibson and Daly are ruled out through injury.
Cork have won five of the last ten All-Ireland junior titles and Kerry are beaten finalists from 2014.
Kerry beat Cork by 3-14 to 0-13 in last year’s provincial final and their panel is boosted by the inclusion of six of the team defeated by Cavan in the All-Ireland decider.
