Cork manager John Cleary has made no changes for his side’s final Allianz Division 2 Football League game of the regular season.

O’Neills Healy Park in Omagh is the venue on Sunday for Cork's battle against Tyrone with a start time of 1.15pm.

The Rebels are in the promotion spots going into the last day requiring a positive result to earn promotion back to Division 1 for the first time since 2016.

It’s perhaps not a huge surprise that the management have stuck with the same starting team that lined out in the 1-31 to 2-19 victory over Kildare at Páirc Uí Rinn last Saturday. 

Cleary has kept faith with goalkeeper Patrick Doyle after he picked up a black card in that encounter.

Micheál Aodh Martin went in between the sticks after 58 minutes and did himself no harm at all with a penalty save and three stops.

On the bench, there is one enforced change with Matty Taylor absent due to a shoulder injury. Kevin O’Donovan will wear the number 18 jersey.
