The Cork team to play Waterford in Sunday's NHL Division 1 final at Semple Stadium shows three changes from the side that pipped Dublin last time out, most notably the inclusion of Aidan Ryan at full-back.

Midleton club man Ryan has not featured for the Rebels in this year's campaign and has been handed the number three jersey by manager Jimmy Barry Murphy at the expense of Damien Cahalane.

Elsewhere, Mark Ellis (centre-back) and Cormac Murphy (left half-back) have also been handed starting berths having recovered from their respective injuries.

William Kearney and Luke O'Farrell are the other players to drop to the bench.

Cork (NHL v Waterford) - Anthony Nash; Shane O'Neill, Aidan Ryan, Stephen McDonnell; Lorcán McLoughlin, Mark Ellis, Cormac Murphy; Daniel Kearney, Aidan Walsh; Bill Cooper, Seamus Harnedy, Rob O'Shea; Alan Cadogan, Conor Lehane, Patrick Horgan.

Subs: Patrick Collins, Damien Cahalane, Killian Burke, William Kearney, Brian Lawton, Patrick Cronin, Darren McCarthy, Paudie O'Sullivan, Stephen Moylan, Luke O'Farrell, Jamie Coughlan.
