GREATER composure in front of goal ensured Cork set up a first meeting of the season with Kerry as they accounted for their hosts in the McGrath Cup at the Gaelic Grounds yesterday.

DESPITE a comprehensive nine points triumph over Laois last weekend, the Cork senior football selectors have made a number of changes for Sunday’s NFL Division 2 clash with Wexford at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

The focus of the latest Cork-Kerry clash will undoubtedly be on David Moran and Tommy Walsh, the senior stars who already have U21 All-Ireland medals in their collection.

FOR Shane McCarthy the 2009 football season has already brought its glory. Two weeks ago he belted in a cracking second-half goal that propelled Cork IT to their first ever Sigerson Cup crown. Today he turns his attentions to the Cork U-21’s as they face Kerry in a Munster showdown, with the Sigerson memories still vibrant.

Just five of last year’s U21 team will be in action when Cork face Kerry at Páirc Ui Rinn in Cork at 2.30pm this Saturday.

NICHOLAS MURPHY is likely to be fit to play with Cork in Saturday’s Allianz NFL clash with Laois at O’Moore Park, Portlaoise. The All Star damaged a tendon against Fermanagh last week and was replaced by John Hayes.
