Teams: Declan Dalton and Rob Downey start for Cork

RTÉ News​a day ago
Captain Rob Downey and Declan Dalton return to the starting line-up as Cork have announced their team to face Dublin in this Saturday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final.
Pat Ryan's team contains three changes from the side that eventually saw off Limerick on penalties in last month's memorable Munster decider.
The experienced Seamus Harnedy and wing-back Cormac O'Brien are both ruled out with injury - hamstring and quad respectively.
Declan Dalton, injured for the latter stages of the Munster championship, replaces Harnedy in the half-forward line, while Rob Downey slots in at centre-back, Ciaran Joyce shifting across the wing back spot.
In the full-back line, Niall O'Leary replaces the veteran corner-back Damien Cahalane, who is among the substitutes.
Ger Millerick has returned from injury and also included in the match-day squad. Tommy O'Connell, Conor Lehane and Shane Kingston, all of whom made a big impression coming off the bench at the TUS Gaelic Grounds, are again named among the replacements.
Cork: Patrick Collins; Niall O'Leary, Eoin Downey, Sean O'Donoghue; Ciarán Joyce, Rob Downey , Mark Coleman; Tim O'Mahony, Darragh Fitzgibbon; Diarmuid Healy, Shane Barrett, Declan Dalton; Patrick Horgan, Alan Connolly, Brian Hayes.

Dublin make two changes for All-Ireland semi-final meeting with Cork

NIALL Ó CEALLACHÁIN has made two changes to his starting Dublin side to face Cork in Saturday's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship semi-final. Conor Donohoe and Darragh Power come into the Dubs' XV, with Chris Crummey and Diarmaid Ó Dúlaing making way. Donohoe returns from suspension to start in midfield in place of Crummey, who is himself suspended following his red card in Dublin's stunning quarter-final success over Limerick. With Power chosen to start at half-forward, Ó Dúlaing takes a spot on the bench where Conal Ó Riain has also replaced James Madden. Advertisement Power forward John Hetherton has not been named to start for Saturday's encounter, which will see the Dubs line out at the semi-final stage for the first time since 2013 when they were incidentally beaten by the Rebels in a close, thrilling affair. The 2025 edition will throw in at 5pm and will be shown live on RTÉ 2 and BBC Sport NI. Dublin (v Cork) 1. Sean Brennan (Cuala) 2. John Bellew (Lucan Sarsfields), 3. Paddy Smyth (Clontarf), 4.
