Lynch and Miskella on mend

CORK hope to have key defensive duo Anthony Lynch and John Miskella available for their All-Ireland SFC quarter-final tie on the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Lynch and Miskella were late withdrawals from the side before Sunday’s Munster final with groin and knee injuries, respectively, and theirabsences were sorely felt against an impressive Limerick attack.

Cork selector Ger O’Sullivan revealed: “We were hoping right up until the game that they’d be fit but it didn’t become evident until Saturday that they weren’t going to make it.
