Miskella will be good replacement for O’Leary, says Masters

JAMES MASTERS admits that the loss to suspension of Noel O’Leary for tomorrow’ All-Ireland qualifier against Louth is a blow to Cork but has full faith in replacement, John Miskella.

Billy Morgan named his team on Tuesday with Miskella replacing O’Leary and Conor McCarthy taking over from Fintan Goold at wing-forward. Both featured as subs in the Munster final defeat to Kerry.

“I’ve been talking to Noel and he is disappointed,” said Masters. “He will be a massive loss because of his aggression towards the game. He drives us on.
