GAA:Cork hurling captain Kieran Murphy has failed to make the starting line-up for Sunday's All-Ireland hurling quarter-final against Waterford, his omission one of several changes from the surprise defeat to Tipperary in the last round of the qualifiers.

Murphy, of the Erin's Own club, was replaced in the Tipp game by Tom Kenny, who is named alongside Jerry O'Connor at midfield, with Kevin Hartnett the player to miss out. Murphy's place in the forward line goes to Timmy McCarthy, while Kieran Murphy of the Sarsfields club, is once again named at full forward.

Shane O'Neill and Brian Murphy come into the full-back line in place of Shane Murphy and Cian O'Connor. Niall McCarthy is included in the substitutes.

Monaghan will start their football qualifier against Donegal on Saturday with the same 15 that lined up in the Ulster final, which ended in a narrow win for Tyrone - but there are a host of positional switches. Vincent Corey, who made an impact when moving to full forward in the second half, reverts to his full-back position.

John Paul Mone moves to left wing back from midfield, Dick Clerkin from right wing forward to midfield, Damien Freeman from wing back to left wing forward, Stephen Gollogly from left wing forward to right wing forward and Rory Woods and Paul Finlay have swapped positions.

Tipperary defender Paul Curran has recovered from the broken jaw sustained against Dublin on July 7th, and while he won't feature in Saturday's qualifier against Wexford, he could be in line for a return should Tipperary progress.
