SHC final teams: Cork stick with same 15
Cork manager Pat Ryan has keep faith with the same 15 that defeated Limerick last time out having named his side for Sunday's All-Ireland final against Clare.
While that was expected, there was intrigue over where Ciarán Joyce and Tim O'Mahony would be positioned with the former starting at left half-back and O’Mahony in midfield, mimicking what happened prior to throw-in of their clash with the Treaty County earlier this month.
Three members remain from the side that lost the 2013 replay to Clare with Séamus Harnedy and Patrick Horgan on from the start and Conor Lehane on the bench.
Clare are yet to name their side.
