Rebels hand Jordan debut for Cats clash

JOE JORDAN of Blarney makes his senior debut as Cork take on All-Ireland champions Kilkenny in the Allianz NHL at Nowlan Park in Denis Walsh’s first match in charge on Sunday.

Jordan, who impressed during Blarney’s All-Ireland Intermediate club odyssey, replaces John Gardiner at right half back in a side that shows a number of other changes from that which defeated Limerick last weekend.

Ciaran McGann continues at left half back after replacing Seán Óg Ó hAilpín during the course of the Limerick game, while Kevin Hartnett joins Tom Kenny at midfield at the expense of Cathal Naughton.
