Walsh a surprise call for Cork
Walsh admitted last week his participation in the game was in doubt due to the close proximity between tomorrow night’s game and next Sunday’s crunch Fitzgerald Stadium showdown. The inclusion of Walsh is a boost to Cork’s aspirations of success as he was one of their most impressive performers in last June’s Munster U21HC quarter-final defeat against Tipperary.
Manager Fitzgerald has named four players who were amongst the substitutes for the Cork seniors Munster championship win over Tipperary last Sunday. Conor O’Sullivan starts at left corner-back, Lorcan McLoughlin will play at left half-back, Cian McCarthy is picked at centre-forward and Luke O’Farrell is named at left corner-forward.
