admin admin | 07-05 08:15

Cork have made one change to their side with Robert Downey returning to the starting line-up for Sunday's seismic All-Ireland SHC semi-final clash with Limerick in Croke Park.

Downey missed the five-point quarter-final win over Dublin due to a bout of illness but is named at centre-back for Sunday, with midfielder Luke Meade returning to the subs bench.

Ciaran Joyce is shifted into midfield for the meeting with Limerick, alongside Darragh Fitzgibbon.

Pat Ryan's side contains only one change from the Cork team which pipped Limerick in the third round of the Munster hurling championship to keep their championship hopes alive in sensational fashion.


Cork: Patrick Collins; Niall O'Leary, Eoghan Downey, Sean O’Donoghue (c); Tim O’Mahony, Robert Downey, Mark Coleman; Ciaran Joyce, Darragh Fitzgibbon; Declan Dalton, Shane Barrett, Seamus Harnedy; Patrick Horgan, Alan Connolly, Brian Hayes.

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