Three changes have been made to the Cork football team that will start against Donegal tomorrow, while two hurling recruits take places on the bench, writes Stephen Barry.

Alan Cadogan and Aidan Walsh joined up with Peadar Healy’s squad after the hurlers were knocked out by Wexford and could feature as impact subs in Croke Park having been included in the match-day squad.

Healy’s chosen fifteen to start includes Colm O’Neill and Paddy Kelly, who, respectively, scored and set-up a goal as they helped to turn the tide against Longford after coming on at half-time.

Daniel Goulding and the suspended James Loughrey make way, with Kevin O’Driscoll relocated to defence alongside his brothers Colm and Brian.

The final change is a straight swap at corner-back, as Stephen Cronin replaces Noel Galvin.

The Cork team is as follows:

1. Ryan Price (O’Donovan Rossa)

2. Colm O’Driscoll (Tadhg MacCarthaigh)

3. Eoin Cadogan (Douglas)

4. Stephen Cronin (Nemo Rangers)

5. Tomás Clancy (Fermoy)

6. Brian O’Driscoll (Tadhg MacCarthaigh)

7. Kevin O’Driscoll (Tadhg MacCarthaigh)

8. Alan O’Connor (St Colum's)

9. Ian Maguire (St Finbarr's)
