Just as she did twelve months ago, 2002 winning captain Una O'Donoghue will return to the Cork starting XV for Sunday's Foras na Gaeilge All-Ireland camogie final against Tipperary.

Cork's only change comes at left half-forward where Macroom's O'Donoghue is favoured instead of Angela Walsh, who scored two points in the 5-17 to 0-05 semi-final win over Limerick.

O'Donoghue could be a vital cog in Cork's bid to topple three-in-a-row hopefuls Tipp. She may have to play second fiddle in the Cork attack to Emer Dillon - the Ballygarvan-based hockey player who struck 2-02 in the win over Limerick.

Sure to be geed up for the occasion is Cork panellist Paula O'Connor - her brothers Ben and Jerry were successful in retaining their All-Ireland hurling title last Sunday.

CORK (SCC v Tipperary): A Murray; R Buckley, R Holland, A O'Regan; B Corkery, M O'Connor, A Geary; V Harris, R Moloney; U O'Donoghue, G O'Connor, J O'Leary; E Dillon, S Dunlea, E Burke (Capt).
