Cork name unchanged team for All-Ireland Hurling Final

Cork boss Pat Ryan has named the same lineup that defeated Limerick in the All-Ireland semi-final for Sunday's clash against Clare.

The Rebels shocked the five-in-a-row chasing Limerick two weeks ago and Ryan has stuck with the same XV ahead of this Sunday's final.

In his selection, Ryan names nine of the same players who started three years ago in the All-Ireland final with Alan Connolly, Eoin Downey, Declan Dalton, Shane Barrett, Ciaran Joyce, and Brian Hayes the new additions.

The substitute bench remains the same as from two weeks ago with Cork showing no fresh injury concerns ahead of the final.

Throw-in is set for 3.30 pm on Sunday at Croke Park.

Cork team to face Clare: Patrick Collins; Niall O’Leary, Eoin Downey, Seán O’Donoghue (c); Ciarán Joyce, Robert Downey, Mark Coleman; Tim O’Mahony, Darragh Fitzgibbon; Declan Dalton, Shane Barrett, Seamus Harnedy; Patrick Horgan, Alan Connolly, Brian Hayes.

Substitutes: Brion Saunderson, Damien Cahalane, Ger Millerick, Tommy O’Connell, Luke Meade, Ethan Twomey, Conor Lehane, Jack O’Connor, Shane Kingston, Pádraig Power, Robbie O’Flynn.
