Steven O'Brien (Ballina) returns from injury to captain the side from corner-forward. Stephen Quirke (Moyle Rovers) is named at full-forward with Sean O'Connor (Commercials) in the other corner.

Throw-in for Sunday's game is 2 pm.

The winners will face All-Ireland champions Kerry in the Munster semi-final in Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney on Saturday, April 22.
