CORK HAVE NAMED an unchanged starting XV for Sunday’s All-Ireland minor hurling semi-final against Dublin (1.30pm).

Rebels boss Denis Ring keeps faith with the same side which beat Clare in last month’s Munster final, in what was the first part of a brilliant minor/senior double for the county.

Ring can call on no fewer than five of the side that beat Dublin in the U17 All-Ireland final last Sunday, with Conor O’Callaghan, Eoin Roche, Aaron Walsh-Barry, Daire Connery and Brian Roche all named to start.

Ronan Sheehan, Declan Hanlon and Colin O’Brien – who are all named on the bench – also featured in that U17 win.
