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.
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.
Throw-in at Fitzgerald Stadium is at 2pm.

Torres is looking like a completely different player to his Chelsea days he’s been great the last few months
Not according to that muppet dunphy
Joanne Cantwell presenting the game on RTE2. Nnoooo……. My poor ears
Can admins not get rid of that gob advertising streams…F off sunny
Watching Joanne Cantwell and the old boys reminds me of Anchor Man. They look like they are going to ask her about the offside rule any minute now.
If it doesn’t get any better by 9 I’m putting on the news
What a goal!
Another clean sheet for Diego class manager
It’s like rope-a-dope here…..Atletico hoping Bayern will punch themselves out.
Dunphy with the obligatory reference to Alaba’s goal against us.
Hoping Peps lads do a job on Atletico, Just from the point of view I want to see a decent final with no antics and limited cynical play acting from Atletico.
Up the Dubs !
Up the farney army
Joanne cantwell must be related to somebody in RTE cause lets face it she has no charisma, and looks like a man. NEPOTISM. Joke
Noel Cantwell
Why what’s your problem with her? Doing a good job imo
I thought she was good
Awful game.
