Younger O’Sullivan set to make first start

PAUDIE O’SULLIVAN, younger brother of full-back Diarmuid, will make his first start in this season’s League when Cork take on Galway in the semi-final at the Limerick Gaelic Grounds on Sunday.

Star of Midleton CBS’s Dr Harty Cup triumph two seasons ago, O’Sullivan is named at right corner-forward, with Cian O’Connor taking over the left corner-back position from Brian Murphy. The Bride Rovers stalwart, together with Shane Murphy, Timmy McCarthy and Neil Ronan, were not considered because of injury.

Kevin Hartnett replaces Stephen White at midfield, Leigh Desmond is preferred to Kieran Murphy of Erins own at left half-forward with Ben O’Connor moving to right half-forward and Brian Corry taking over at full-forward Kevin Canty.
