John Kiely has made two changes to the Limerick team as they take the latest step towards their five in a row dream.

Fresh from their Munster final victory over Clare on June 9, the Treaty men will have Seán Finn and Seamus Flanagan back in the side for Sunday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final meeting with Cork at a sold-out Croke Park.

After the Rebels' stirring victory over Limerick in the provincial round robin clash in May, there is massive interest in this last four tie.

And Kiely has moved to replace hamstring victim Barry Nash with the experienced Finn at corner-back, while Shane O'Brien, who performed well against Clare, loses out to Flanagan following the sharp-shooter's return to fitness after a hamstring strain ruled him out of the Tipperary round robin game and the Munster decider.

Cork boss Pat Ryan named his team on Thursday with one change included - Robert Downey returning at centre-back, after he missed the quarter-final defeat of Dublin a fortnight ago due to sickness.

Luke Meade replaced Downey on that occasion but Glen Rovers' Downey is back in situ for the clash with the reigning All-Ireland champions. Meade's bench role sees Conor Cahalane drop out of the matchday panel, while Ethan Twomey is also included as a reserve in place of Séan Twomey.
