Cahalane recovers to boost Rebels’ bid to lower Banner
Attacking duo Daniel Fitzgerald (hamstring) and Kevin Hallissey (shoulder) are both ruled out of the equation, but Castlehaven’s Damien Cahalane has recovered to start at midfield. Cahalane has been dogged with finger and leg injuries recently which threatened his participation but they have responded well to treatment is available.
Cork’s side is anchored in defence by Sean O’Shea and Matthew O’Shea, both who starred for Béara CS in their recent All-Ireland Vocational triumph, with Cahalane an imposing figure in midfield. In attack the talents of Brian Hurley, John O’Rourke and Alan Cronin, who all featured last year, will be tipped to lead the way in the scoring stakes.
