Cork managers John Meyler and Ronan McCarthy have both named experimental teams featuring plenty of new faces for Sunday's pre-season clashes.

Meyler's starting 15 to face Clare in the Munster SHL at Cusack Park (throw-in 2pm) shows seven changes from last weekend's opening round loss to Limerick, with 2017 minor star Evan Sheehan among the newcomers.

The McGrath Cup fixture will be McCarthy's first competitive game in charge of the Cork senior footballers.
