The Cork selectors have given a vote of confidence to the team which comprehensively defeated Clare in the semi-final, for tomorrow night?s Munster JFC final against Kerry at Pairc U? Caoimh (7.30 pm).
Kerry, who are the defending champions, face a Cork side which includes a number of players with senior experience in Fachtna Collins, Dave Creedon, Kieran Murphy, Enda Wiseman and Conor Brosnan.
The team will be captained by goalkeeper Briain Morgan whose father Billy led the county to senior All-Ireland football honours both as a goalkeeper and coach.
Kerry have made two changes from the team which defeated Tipperary in their semi-final. Seamus Flynn comes in at wing back for Jimmy Doyle while senior panellist Paul Kennedy of Listry is drafted in at midfield, with Eamon J. O?Donoghue moving to full forward and Michael O?Connor excluded.
The team is also notable for the inclusion of former senior Killian Burns at left corner back.
Over the last decade Kerry have won this title five times compared to three for Cork. Kerry?s win in last year?s final was at the expense of Tipperary, while Cork?s last success was in 2001 when they also defeated Tipp.
