Cork Football Team To Play Derry

With a league semi final already secured, and a number of players unavailable due to Under 21 commitments and injuries, Cork Football Manager Brian Cuthbert has made seven changes, and a number of positional switches to his team for Sundays clash against Derry. Clonakilty's Tom Clancy is named at corner back in place of James Loughrey, Tomas Clancy from Fermoy moves to wing back in place of Under 21 Captain Brian O'Driscoll, while Stephen O'Donoghue comes in at centre back, meaning Conor Dorman moves to the wing. Patrick Kelly partners Fintan Goold in midfield this week. There are four changes in personnel to the forwards, John O'Rourke, Mark Collins and Barry O'Driscoll make up the half forward line, while Paul Kerrigan is named at full forward and flanked by Daniel Goulding and John Hayes in the corners. Kevin and Colm O'Driscoll, Colm O'Neill and Brian Hurley are the players to make way.
