Cork give Brady and Halbert nod against Limerick

CHAMPIONS Cork make two changes from the team which defeated Waterford in the semi-final for Sunday’s Munster minor hurling championship final against Limerick in Pairc Uí Chaoimh.

Alan Brady comes in to partner Peter O’Driscoll at midfield and John Halbert, who came on as a sub in the semi-final, keeps his place at left corner forward. Ross Cashman and Peter Finnegan lose out.

There are a number of positional switches as a result. Cathal Naughton switches to left half forward from midfield; Paudie O’Sullivan moves from an attacking role to a defensive one, taking over the centre-back position from Cashman, while Peter O’Brien mans the full forward spot.
