Tipperary U20 hero named on bench for All-Ireland final
Liam Cahill has named an unchanged starting 15, with Conor Stakelum, who came in as a late change against Kilkenny, down to start.
The only switch is on the bench where McCormack, who scored 2-1 in their All-Ireland U20 success last May, is promoted.
He was called up to the senior squad by Cahill after that victory. McCormack's older brother, Dan, was on the last Tipp team to bring home Liam MacCarthy in 2019.
Seán Kenneally, who appeared as a late substitute in the semi-final, is marked absent.
Four of the team who started the 2019 All-Ireland triumph remain – Michael Breen, Ronan Maher, Jason Forde, and John McGrath – while Séamus Kennedy and Noel McGrath could feature off the bench.
Willie Connors and Jake Morris, who came on as subs in 2019, start this time around.

Bohemians football club faces breach of contract lawsuit
Leading League of Ireland football club Bohemians faces legal action from a company seeking to recover around €100,000 for alleged breach of contract. Digital ticket services specialist, Future Ticketing Ltd, filed proceedings in the High Court this week against The Bohemian Football Club Company. It is understood that the Tullamore, Co Offaly-based business is seeking to recover around €100,000 that it alleges resulted from a breach of contract by Bohemians. Future Ticketing says it provided services to Bohemians from 2016 through contracts that the two companies renewed several times, including in 2023, when the relationship ended. READ MORE The figure sought by the ticketing company includes fees for its services and a penalty for Bohemians ending the contract, it is understood. Future Ticketing provides technology to sports organisations and other event businesses that allow them to sell tickets directly to customers through their websites and mobile apps rather than going through an agent. The company works with more than 50 professional football clubs, including other well-known SSE Airtricity League of Ireland sides St Patrick's Athletic, Shelbourne FC and Drogheda United. It recently renewed a deal with Northern Ireland Football League club Glentoran FC. The Irish company also numbers Scottish and English clubs among its clients. Future Ticketing also works with racecourses in Ireland and Britain, including leading national hunt tracks, Punchestown and Cheltenham. Dalymount Park, Dublin-based Bohemians is one of the State's best known football clubs. In advance of its Friday fixture against Drogheda United, it was ranked second in the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland Premier Division, with 42 points, seven behind league leaders Shamrock Rovers. In an unrelated case, the Workplace Relations Commission recently awarded former Bohemians player and coach David Henderson the maximum compensation of €26,000 against the club. The commission found that Bohemians had unfairly dismissed him from his €250 a week job as head of recruitment in November 2024. The club maintained that it had to cut spending as it had lost money in 2023 and was likely to do so again last year. Accounts filed by The Bohemian Football Club, which is a company limited by guarantee, show that it had €2.2 million in assets at the end of 2023. The accounts note that it had 'an operating deficit of €245,000″ that year and projected a loss for 2024. It employs around 40 people. Bohemians is not yet due to file accounts for last year. Neither Future Ticketing nor Bohemians had commented by the time of going to press.

Women's All-Ireland SFC final: All You Need to Know
Meath and Dublin lock horns again in the decider, four years on from the Royals causing a surprise when winning a first title after defeating their Leinster rivals. The Royals followed up in 2022, with Dublin regaining their title the following year Sunday's decider at Croke Park throws in at 4.15pm, with Antrim v Louth getting things up and running in the junior final at 11.45am, followed by Laois v Tyrone in the intermediate decider at 1.45pm. ONLINE Live updates of the senior clash and match reports on RTÉ.ie and the RTÉ News app. TV TG4 will broadcast live coverage of the senior and intermediate finals final, with the junior showdown on the TG4 Player. Watch highlights on The Sunday Game from 9.30pm on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player RADIO Live commentary on Sunday Sport on RTÉ Radio 1 and on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta's Spórt an Lae. WEATHER Cloud and rain will clear from the southeast on Sunday morning and for the rest of the day there'll be a good amount of dry and bright weather, with just a few showers in the northwest. Cloud will slowly build from the southwest through the evening. Highest temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees with a moderate to fresh westerly wind, easing later. For more go to Meath v Dublin, Croke Park, 4.15pm Orlagh Nolan is named to start in the Dublin team. Nolan's 2024 season was cruelly cut short by an ACL injury sustained before the quarter-final clash with Galway but she returned against the same opposition in the recent semi-final – and performed well in a substitute's role as the Sky Blues won a dramatic game after extra-time. She comes in for Caoimhe O'Connor, who sustained a hamstring injury against Galway last time out. That's the only change in personnel from the semi-final, with Meath opting for an unchanged starting line-up. However, there may be a change in personnel for the Royal County, as key defender Katie Newe was forced off with a knee injury during the semi-final win against Kerry. Dublin won the most recent competitive clash between them, in the 2025 TG4 Leinster final. Meath's last victory against their old rivals was in a National League Division 1 group game – while the Royals last achieved a championship win against Dublin in 2022, in Leinster. The counties have not met in the All-Ireland series since the dramatic 2021 All-Ireland final. Dublin are readying themselves for the 14th Senior final in the county's history – and a win for the Sky Blues would hand them a seventh All-Ireland crown. They were previous winners in 2010, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023. Dublin: A Shiels; J Tobin, L Caffrey, N Donlon; S Goldrick, M Byrne, N Crowley; É O'Dowd, H McGinnis; N Owens, C Rowe (capt), O Nolan; H Tyrrell, N Hetherton, K Sullivan. Meath: R Murray; Á Sheridan, MK Lynch, K Newe; A Cleary (capt), S Wall, K Kealy; O Sheehy, M Farrelly; M Thynne, N Gallogly, C Smyth; E Duggan, V Wall, K Cole.

‘He made a far greater impact than he ever realised': funeral for man who died in workplace accident in Cork
Pat Corcoran (68), who died in a workplace accident in Clondrohid village in Co Cork earlier this week was a loving family man and a stalwart of the horse racing scene, his requiem Mass has heard. Mr Corcoran (68), a father of four, was pronounced dead at Cork University Hospital Hospital on Monday. He had been transferred to the hospital following an accident at a family-owned packaging and pallet company in Clondrohid, four miles north of Macroom. At his requiem Mass in St Abina's Church in Clondrohid on Friday, his son Brian joked that although he was born in 1997, the highlight of the year for his father was training the Dingle Derby winner Fiona's Choice. 'I would often hear the full rundown. The mare he got ready in 21 days through pure horsemanship and dedication to get the mare in the condition she was in in such a short amount of time. She won in a photo finish, which showed he just managed to get her over the line. READ MORE 'He had a great love for horse racing. Particularly point to point. Even on the day of [my sister] Louise's christening he managed to get to a point to point that evening, where he said his luck was in and it paid for the christening. 'Myself and my fiancee, Katie, got engaged in May of last year. When I informed Dad that the chosen month for the wedding was March 2026, he looked over at Katie and said: 'It's hardly the week of Cheltenham is it?' 'It is hard to picture a race day without thinking of him there having the chat, putting on the bet and hoping to come home with a few extra pounds in the pocket to cover a bag of chips.' Brian said their father was their 'guide, protector and a steady hand'. 'We always knew we were deeply loved. Our mom, Mary T, was his constant. Together they built a home of love, laughter and loyalty. 'Dad didn't need a stage or a spotlight. His greatness was in the quiet way that he lived his life, by showing up, by giving his all and by being there for the people who mattered. In doing so he made a far greater impact than he ever realised.' He added that the family was grateful for the support of family, friends, the emergency services, hospital staff and the work colleagues of his father at Mid Cork Pallets. Meanwhile, Fr Jimmy Greene told mourners that Pat was a man of deep faith who had a great generosity of spirit. 'Pat was a kind man, considerate of others and if there was any job that needed doing, Pat was always there to help. He was a happy man.' Offertory gifts included a copy of the Irish Field, an apple tart, a family picture, a work jacket and a GAA jersey.
