Kerry open defence of minor title with clash with Clare
David Cullotty and Shane Murphy both played against Cork in last year’s final in Killarney. Ciaran Kelleher, who was also on the 2003 team, is among the subs. Reidy and substitute David Doyle are members of the Ireland Compromise Rules team which travels to Australia on Sunday.
Cork include six of last year’s team for their opener against Waterford at Leamybrien. Had Fintan Gould and Niall Horgan been fit, that number would have gone up to eight. Stephen O’Donoghue, Kevin Harrington, Michael Shields, Eoin Cadogan, Daniel Goulding, Paul Kerrigan and Stephen Bermingham were all members of the 2003 team which failed to Kerry in the Munster final.
