Cork minor boss Denis Ring has retained the side that swept to Munster glory ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland semi-final clash against Dublin at Croke Park.

The Rebels easily accounted for Clare in last month's provincial decider, cruising to victory by 17-points to bring up the first part of a memorable minor-senior double for the county over the Banner County at Semple Stadium.

Bride Rovers twins Eoin and Brian Roche are among five players from the recent All-Ireland U17 final success versus the Dubs to be included in the starting 15.

Conor O'Callaghan, Aaron Walsh Barry and Daire Connery are the other three starters while substitutes Ronan Sheehan, Declan Hanlon and Colin O'Brien also played a part in last weekend's U17's triumph at GAA headquarters.

Cork (All-Ireland MHC v Dublin): Ger Collins; Conor O'Callaghan, Sean O'Leary, Eoin Roche; Aaron Walsh Barry, James Keating, Ger Millerick; Daire Connery, Diarmuid Linehan; Craig Hanifin, Liam O Shea, Brian Roche; Evan Sheehan, Robert Downey, Brian Turnbull.

Subs: Ian Butler, Jack O'Callaghan, Ronan Sheehan, Ross Howell, Barry Murphy, Brian Buckley, David Jones, Declan Hanlon, Colin O'Brien.
