GAA:Cork manager Conor Counihan has made one change to the team that overpowered Kildare for Sunday's All-Ireland semi-final against Donegal. Patrick Kelly replaces Ciarán Sheehan at centre forward.

The Ballincollig man was unable to start the quarter-final due to a groin strain but did feature as a substitute.

The starting XV contains most of the same men involved in capturing their first All-Ireland title two years ago.

The defensive seven and midfield are the same that featured in 2010.

Donegal manager Jim McGuinness may release a team for public consumption in the next 24 hours.

Cork (SFC v Donegal):A Quirke; R Carey, M Shields, E Cadogan; P Kissane, G Canty, N O'Leary; A O'Connor, A Walsh; F Goold, P Kelly, P Kerrigan; C O'Neill, D O'Connor, N Murphy.
