Kavanagh a natural full-back, says Corkery

FORMER Cork star Colin Corkery has insisted he would play his Nemo Rangers club-mate Derek Kavanagh at fullback — and not midfield — for the county team.

Kavanagh has forged a solid centre-field partnership with All-star Nicholas Murphy in recent seasons, but Corkery believes he would be far better off on the edge of the square.

Kavanagh and Murphy will lead the charge for the Rebels at Croke Park on Saturday when they tackle Sligo in the All-Ireland SFC quarter- final.
