The fit-again Aidan Walsh starts in midfield after recovering from the hamstring injury that ruled him out of the semi-final win over Tipperary, while Sean Powter and Mark Collins – who both impressed from the bench that day – are rewarded with starting places.
Kevin O’Driscoll comes in at wing-forward but Alan O’Connor has to make do with a place on the bench after missing the Tipp game through suspension, while Eoin Cadogan is also fit and among the substitutes.
Colm O’Driscoll, John O’Rourke and Peter Kelleher all miss out on the starting XV but are in the matchday panel. Brian O’Driscoll, who partnered Ian Maguire in midfield last time out, has been ruled out for the rest of the season after dislocating his shoulder in training.

Here's the Cork team bidding to stop Kerry's five-in-a-row in Munster
PEADAR HEALY HAS made four changes to the Cork side for tomorrow’s Munster senior football final against Kerry.
The fit-again Aidan Walsh starts in midfield after recovering from the hamstring injury that ruled him out of the semi-final win over Tipperary, while Sean Powter and Mark Collins – who both impressed from the bench that day – are rewarded with starting places.
Kevin O’Driscoll comes in at wing-forward but Alan O’Connor has to make do with a place on the bench after missing the Tipp game through suspension, while Eoin Cadogan is also fit and among the substitutes.
