Galway make some minor adjustments

Defending champions Galway remain unchanged for Sunday's All-Ireland minor final with Cork at Croke Park

Defending champions Galway remain unchanged for Sunday's All-Ireland minor final with Cork at Croke Park. There are, however, some positional switches compared to the side that breezed past Tipperary in the semi-final.

Corner backs Cathal Dervan and Ciarβn Finnerty have switched places, with Finnerty now starting in the right corner and Dervan in the left. In the attack, Johnnie Maher will start at full forward instead of the left corner, where he played the last day, and Kenneth Burke moves into the corner as a result.

Cork make two changes in their starting line-up from the side that beat Kilkenny in their semi-final. John O'Connor and Fergus Murphy both come into the attack, after appearing as substitutes the last day.

O'Connor will play at left half forward, with Peter Morgan dropping down to the bench. Murphy will start in front of him at left corner forward, with Stephen O'Sullivan the player to lose out .
