CORK HAVE MADE just one change to the team that beat Dublin in their All-Ireland SHC semi final last month, with Brian Murphy returning to the side as they get set to take on Clare in the decider on Sunday
The Bride Rovers clubman has been out of action since June when he suffered a collarbone injury injury in a club game that looked to have put paid to his season.
However, he made a quicker than expected return to training and it’s no surprise that Cork manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy has opted for the experienced 31-year old as the Rebels look to keep the shackles on Clare’s free-scoring forwards.
Grenagh’s Tom Kenny drops to the bench to allow Murphy line up at right half-back.
