Cork boss Keith Ricken has made a number of changes for tomorrow evening’s clash with Waterford in the Electric Ireland Munster MFC at Páirc Uí Rinn (7pm).

The Rebels are already assured of their place in the provincial final heading into this last Phase 2 group game.

Cork opened the campaign with a 25-point win away to Clare before impressively dispatching old rivals Kerry by 10 points at Austin Stack Park.

Ricken and his management team have made five changes in total from the side that started that excellent victory over the Kingdom last Monday in Tralee.

There’s a first championship start of the year for Morgan Corkery at centre-forward, the son of Cork football great Colin Corkery.

Having kicked 1-3 when introduced against Kerry, Riley O’Donovan is named at corner-forward.

Kerry are at home to Clare tomorrow evening in what is effectively a semi-final to determine who will meet Cork in the Munster final.
