Cork Under 21 boss John Cleary has named six of last year's All-Ireland winning team in his first 15 for Saturday's crunch Munster championship quarter-final against Kerry at Tralee.

While a final decision is yet to be made in Aidan Walsh's fitness, Cleary has named the Kanturk man at centre-back for the game as he continues to recover from a hamstring problem.

Should he be deemed fit to play, Walsh will be joined by fellow All-Ireland winner Chris O'Donovan, who starts at centre-field.

Up front, Mark Collins, Ciaran Sheehan and Kevin O'Driscoll make up the half-forward line, while Paul Honohan will look to trouble the Kingdom defence from left corner-forward.

Cork (Munster U21FC v Kerry): S Mellet; R O'Sullivan, R Buckley, I Jones; M Hickey, A Walsh, JP Murphy; C O'Donovan, E Keane; M Collins, C Sheehan, K O'Driscoll; B O'Driscoll, J Sexton, P Honohan.

Subs: B Walsh, R Dineen, L Jennings, M Cahalane, A O'Reilly, L McLoughlin, S Beston, E Buckley, A Holland. Tweet
