Rebels face a Kingdom on the rise

Cork are the holders from 2019 and looking to get their hands on silverware again.

Standing in their way are a formidable Kerry outfit, however, with the Kingdom still on a high following their recent Lidl National League Division 2 Final win.

Kerry followed that up by defeating Tipperary in the TG4 Munster semi-final, as Cork got the better of Waterford in the other last-four clash.

Cork and Kerry last met in a provincial senior final in 2018, when the Leesiders ran out 5-13 to 2-10 winners.

When the counties met in the Munster Championship a year later, Cork were even more comfortable winners, but the gap between the counties appears to have closed and the Kingdom will quietly fancy their chances.

In November 2020, Cork and Kerry met in the group stages of the All-Ireland, and Cork had just three points to spare on that occasion.

Both sides will operate in Division 1 next season following Kerry’s promotion, but it’s all about the championship on Saturday.

The winners of this tie will join Donegal and Waterford in Group D of the All-Ireland Championship, with the runners-up pitted with Galway and Westmeath in Group C.

Cork: M O’Sullivan; R Phelan, E Meaney, S Leahy; M Duggan, M O’Callaghan (capt), L O’Mahony; A Hutchings, S Kelly; E Cleary, C
