O’Donovan and Kelly given Cork vote of confidence

TEAK-TOUGH Bishopstown back Noel O’Donovan and stylish Ballincollig winger Patrick Kelly have been drafted into the Cork team to play Meath in the opening round of the Allianz National Football League at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday.

Thu, 29 Jan, 2009 - 00:00

O’Donovan, winner of an All-Ireland minor medal in 2000, is named at full-back, with Kelly taking over the left half forward position.

Both figured prominently in Cork’s recent McGrath Cup winning team and their selections will come as no surprise.
