CORK minor football manager Micheál ‘Haulie’ O’Sullivan has made no

changes to the starting 15 which dispatched Clare last week for

Monday's Electric Ireland Munster minor football championship final

against Kerry in Páirc Uí Rinn (7.30pm).

It’s no surprise that the Cork management have made no alterations to

the team considering the manner of the 1-13 to 0-8 win over Clare in

Quilty last Tuesday in the semi-final. It was expected to be a close

affair but the Rebels made it look relatively easy with an accomplished

display. At times, O’Sullivan’s charges were devastating and put their

opposition to the sword when they wanted to.

The Banner did have a player sent off before the break but the game was

effectively over at that point as Cork led 1-7 to 0-1. Dylan O’Neill

was without doubt the player of the match above in Clare with the

Carbery Rangers player knocking over 0-6 (five from play).

The Rebels will come into tomorrow's decider with a fair amount of

confidence but they do come up against a Kerry side who only beat them

two weeks ago at the quarter-final stage by two points at Austin Stack

Park in Tralee. In what was a tame encounter with both sides not fully

showing their hand with the high likelihood they would meet again,

Kerry prevailed 0-12 to 1-7.
