Brian Lohan has named his starting XV for this Sunday's All Ireland Senior Hurling Final against Cork at Croke Park.

The Clare manager has made no changes to the line up that snatched an epic last minute win from Kilkenny two weeks ago.

Three players remain on the Banner squad from the last time Clare and Cork met in an All Ireland Final in 2013, a year that saw the teams go head to head twice after the first match ended in a 0-25 (Clare) - 3-16 (Cork) draw.

David McInerney, Tony Kelly and Shane O'Donnell played in both finals, with Clare finally triumphing over the Rebels 5-16 to 3-16.
