Cork-Limerick Munster Senior Football Championship Final Match Pick...

Cork play Limerick in this Sunday's Munster Senior Football Championship Final at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

Cork manager Conor Counihan has made one change to his Rebels side. Kieran O'Connor comes into the side replacing the suspended Noel O'Leary, who was sent-off in the semi-final replay over Kerry. Counihan has also included John Miskella in his starting XV after the defender recovered from a recent knee injury picked up playing for his club.

Cork Team:
A Quirke; R Carey, M Shields, A Lynch; J Miskella, G Canty, K O'Connor; A O'Connor, N Murphy; P Kelly, P O'Neill, P Kerrigan; D Goulding, J Masters, D O'Connor.

Limerick football manager Mickey Ned O’Sullivan, has made just one change for the Sunday final. Stephen Kelly is drafted in at full-forward as a direct replacement for Jason Stokes, who started in the semi-final win over Clare. Kelly missed the wins over Tipperary and Clare after he sustained a broken bone in his hand while playing rugby. Kelly, who played in the 2003 and 2004 Munster finals, returned to training in recent weeks after he had the cast removed from his hand.

Limerick Team:
S Kiely; J McCarthy, S Gallagher, M O'Riordan, S Lavin, S Lucey, P Ranahan, J O'Donovan, J Galvin, P Browne, C Joyce-Power, S Buckley (Capt), G Collins, S Kelly, I Ryan.

O'Sullivan believes his side are in with every chance of upsetting red hot favourites Cork. He stated in Limerick earlier this week that a provincial final place was the early objective for his players once the draws had been made, and now he wants his side to go one step further to try and shock the Rebels.

I truly believe that Cork are a way better team than Limerick and should win comfortably on Sunday.

Winner: Cork
