Keith Ricken has named his first team as Cork senior football manager for tomorrow’s McGrath Cup clash against Clare.

All in all, the Rebels’ starting line-up shows just five survivors from last year’s Munster SFC final defeat to Kerry, with Sean Powter, Sean Meehan, Cian Kiely, Brian Hurley and Daniel Dineen all named to start against the Banner men.

Eire Og’s Christopher Kelly gets the nod in goal while Shane Merrit (Mallow) and Joe Grimes (Clonakilty) start alongside each other at centre-field.

Mark Cronin and Damien Gore flank Dineen at full-forward while Hurley is named at centre-forward.

Throw-in in Miltown-Malbay is at 2.00pm.
