O’Brien, Callinan get nod to face Cork

TIPPERARY manager Liam Sheedy introduces two newcomers to the heat of Munster senior hurling championship action for Sunday’s semi-final showdown with arch-rivals Cork at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Conor O’Brien has been handed the number four jersey ahead of the experienced Declan Fanning, while Seamus Callinan leads the Tipp attack from centre forward. The Drom & Inch youngster has been showing tremendous form this season.

Eamon Corcoran is fully recovered and lines out in his customary right half back position, while Lar Corbett, who was also troubled with injury, has been named at full-forward.
