The Rebels are due to face the Kingdom this weekend in a clash that will decide the finalists for the Munster Senior Football Championship.

It'll certainly be a challenge for Cork, with Kerry being the heavy favourites heading into the semi-finals, but with the home crowd advantage, the Rebels will undoubtedly give their opponents a run for their money.

The Cork side are heading into the clash following a convincing win over Limerick in the quarter-finals, with a final scoreline of 0-24 to 0-13 in Cork's favour.

Manager John Cleary has named an unchanged starting fifteen for Saturday's game following the quarter-final victory, while Kerry have elected to make several changes from the side that claimed victory in the league final at the end of March.

It's set to be a cracking weekend of football, and with the game being played here in Cork, we can expect a great atmosphere on Leeside.
