Cork lose five regulars to injury

CORK will be without five regulars for Friday night’s opening NFL game against Kerry under lights at Pairc Uí Rinn (8pm).

Both Colin Crowley and Graham Canty picked up knee injuries in training, while Philip Clifford will have keyhole surgery on his knee this afternoon.

Former captain Colin Corkery has been ruled out as he concentrates on regaining his fitness, while Fionan Murray is off the panel for personal reasons.
