Cork experiment again for Tipp clash
Ballinhassig’s Martin Coleman takes over in goal from Donal Óg Cusack. John Gardiner, who started the Offaly game at midfield, is now at right half back, with Graham Callinan getting a deserved rest.
Sean Óg Ó hAilpín and Adrian Coughlan return. Ó hAilpín takes over his customary left half back position with Coughlan partnering Tom Kenny at midfield. Kenny came on as a sub during the course of the Offaly game, while Coughlan was kept in reserve as his Blackrock colleague Paul Tierney strutted his stuff in the middle of the park.
