Munster hampered by Cork absentees

CORK are restricted to just two representatives - Ronan Curran and Joe Deane - on the Munster team to face Leinster in the M. Donnelly Interprovincial hurling semi-final in Croke Park on Sunday (12.15pm).

This is as a result of a combination of club commitments and injuries.

Six Kilkenny players feature on the Leinster side, the most interesting being the choice of Tommy Walsh at left half-forward.
