Cork manager Conor Counihan has named an unchanged side for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC final against Kerry at Croke Park.

Counihan opted to remain loyal to the Rebels outfit that disposed of defending champions Tyrone in the semi-finals despite a major doubt over the fitness of Ray Carey.

The Clyda Rovers clubman suffered a shoulder injury in training and could end up missing the showdown with the county’s provincial rivals.

Dual star Eoin Cadogan, who came on as a subsitiute against the Red Hands last time out, could deputise for an injured Carey, while Kieran O’Connor is also challenging for a starting berth in the backs.

Sunday’s line-up will feature eight of the side that started the 2007 All-Ireland final against Kerry.

CORK side to face Kerry in the All-Ireland SFC final at Croke Park, throw-in 3.30pm:

A Quirke; R Carey, M Shields, A Lynch; N O'Leary, G Canty (capt), J Miskella; A O'Connor, N Murphy; P Kerrigan, P O'Neill, P Kelly; D Goulding, C O'Neill, D O'Connor.
