Three late changes to Cork team for Munster Football Final against Kerry


Cork senior football boss Ronan McCarthy has made three late changes from the side named earlier in the week for tomorrow's Munster decider against Kerry at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. 

Due to late injuries, Seán White is now at centre-back in place of Thomas Clancy.

Kevin O'Driscoll is named at left half forward and Stephen Sherlock is picked at left full forward, with Eoghan McSweeney and John O'Rourke making way.

Cork go into the match against the Kingdom as underdogs. The Rebels haven't beaten their neighbours in the Championship since 2012.

Last year, Kerry won by 3-18 to 2-4 at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Cork were also relegated to Division 3 of the Allianz National Football League in the spring, but did start the summer well, defeating Limerick by 3-18 to 0-6 points in the semi-final.

The revised Cork team is:

1. Mark White (Clonakilty)

2. Nathan Walsh (Douglas)

3. James Loughrey (Mallow)

4. Kevin Flahive (Douglas)

5. Liam O’Donovan (Clonakilty)

6. Sean White (Clonakilty)

7. Mattie Taylor (Mallow)

8. Ian Maguire (St Finbarr's) (Captain)

9. Killian O’Hanlon (Kilshannig)

10. Paul Kerrigan (Nemo Rangers)

11. Ruairi Deane (Bantry Blues)

12. Kevin O’Driscoll (Tadhg MacCarthaigh)

13. Mark Collins (Castlehaven)

14. Brian Hurley (Castlehaven)

15. Stephen Sherlock (St Finbarr's).
