Teams: Declan Dalton and Rob Downey start for Cork

Captain Rob Downey and Declan Dalton return to the starting line-up as Cork have announced their team to face Dublin in this Saturday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final. Pat Ryan's team contains three changes from the side that eventually saw off Limerick on penalties in last month's memorable Munster decider. The experienced Seamus Harnedy and wing-back Cormac O'Brien are both ruled out with injury - hamstring and quad respectively. Declan Dalton, injured for the latter stages of the Munster championship, replaces Harnedy in the half-forward line, while Rob Downey slots in at centre-back, Ciaran Joyce shifting across the wing back spot. In the full-back line, Niall O'Leary replaces the veteran corner-back Damien Cahalane, who is among the substitutes. Ger Millerick has returned from injury and also included in the match-day squad. Tommy O'Connell, Conor Lehane and Shane Kingston, all of whom made a big impression coming off the bench at the TUS Gaelic Grounds, are again named among the replacements. Cork: Patrick Collins; Niall O'Leary, Eoin Downey, Sean O'Donoghue; Ciarán Joyce, Rob Downey , Mark Coleman; Tim O'Mahony, Darragh Fitzgibbon; Diarmuid Healy, Shane Barrett, Declan Dalton; Patrick Horgan, Alan Connolly, Brian Hayes.

Major boost for Cork GAA as key star overcomes injury scare to start in Munster hurling championship clash vs Tipperary

CORK captain Rob Downey has been named to start in Sunday's Munster SHC showdown with Tipperary. A knee injury forced the centre-back off after 45 minutes of last weekend's draw with Clare.

The only adjustment to the team that squandered a 12-point half-time lead in Ennis is the inclusion of Declan Dalton in the half-forward line for the suspended Shane Barrett. Dalton's selection in place of Barrett is one of three changes from the National League final victory over Tipp this month. Séamus Harnedy continues at wing-forward at the expense of Diarmuid Healy, while Mark Coleman retains his place at wing-back ahead of Cormac O'Brien.
