GAA team news:Nicholas Murphy returns to the Cork starting line-up for tomorrow's trip to Omagh to play Tyrone in a re-run of last August's All-Ireland semi-final, which the Munster champions won convincingly.

The Carrigaline man, who missed the high-scoring win over Galway last weekend after straining a hamstring earlier in the week, is the only change to Conor Counihan’s side.

Dual player Eoin Cadogan as expected lines out with the hurlers, who entertain All-Ireland champions Kilkenny on Sunday.

Opponents Tyrone welcome back former Seán Cavanagh and former All Star Philip Jordan after injury. Both start on the bench.
