McCarthy back for Cork

TIMMY McCARTHY returns to the Cork team for Sunday’s Munster senior hurling championship final clash with Tipperary at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

The Castlelyons player missed the semi-final victory over Waterford because of a hamstring injury but recently figured in a club championship match against Douglas.

His selection is the only change from the side that stripped Waterford of their provincial crown. McCarthy takes over the left half-forward position from Neil Ronan. The Ballyhea player did not fire on all cylinders when given his opportunity in that match and gave way to Kieran Murphy of Erin’s Own.
