O’Mahony was on the bench for Cork’s senior success against Clare on Sunday. The Newtownshandrum man was named to start in the U21 semi-final victory over Waterford but Michael O’Halloran was brought into the team before throw-in.
The introduction of O’Mahony is the only change to the Cork team that came from behind to defeat Waterford by two points in their semi-final tie with six other players who won Munster senior medals on Sunday, set to start tomorrow night.
Mark Coleman, Darragh Fitzgibbon and Shane Kingston all started in the senior victory over Clare on Sunday while wing-forward Robbie O’Flynn came off the bench. Full-back David Griffin and corner-forward Jack O’Connor were both unused substitutes for John Meyler’s Cork side along with O’Mahony.

Cork will be aiming to land their first Munster U21 title since 2007 and atone for their loss at the final hurdle last July against Limerick.
There are nine survivors in the Cork team that started that game in the Gaelic Grounds – David Lowney, Griffin, Eoghan Murphy, Coleman, Chris O’Leary, O’Flynn, Declan Dalton, Kingston and O’Mahony. Fitzgibbon missed that game through suspension while Billy Hennessy was injured.
Cork goalkeeper Ger Collins was between the posts for last year’s All-Ireland minor final against Galway while substitutes Eoin Roche and Daire Connery also both played in that game.
Throw-in tomorrow in Páirc Uí Chaoimh is 7.30pm.
