O’Shea answers call for Rebels

WITH promising Under-21 performers Fintan Goold and Daniel Goulding again held in reserve, Cork have made just one enforced change from the side that started against Limerick for next Sunday’s Munster SFC semi-final showdown with Tipperary at Semple Stadium, Thurles.

Goalkeeper Alan Quirke, who dislocated his shoulder in the second half of the Limerick game, has been ruled out, and is replaced by his understudy Paddy O’Shea of St Vincent’s. It will be a first championship start for O’Shea, who performed exceptionally well in the league when Quirke was again on the injured list.

Goold and Goulding, along with Kevin O’Sullivan and Dermot Hurley, were called upon during the first round but respective wing forwards Conor McCarthy and Kevin McMahon have again won first-team preference, while Nicholas Murphy, who has recovered from a knock received in the Limerick game, teams up with Derek Kavanagh again at midfield.
