Fitness worry prompts Counihan to delay naming Cork side

CORK boss Conor Counihan is to delay naming his team for Sunday’s Munster SFC semi-final against Kerry in Fitzgerald Stadium until Thursday night due to fitness concerns over a number of players.

Counihan is definitely without long-serving duo Anthony Lynch and Nicholas Murphy, while Graham Canty (shoulder), John Miskella (groin) and Ciaran Sheehan (shoulder) have all been battling problems which have curtailed their involvement in the run-up to the game.

Counihan also only welcomed Eoin Cadogan back into the frame last night after his exertions with the county’s hurlers on Sunday while they will also hope Aidan Walsh emerges unscathed from tonight’s Munster U21HC quarter-final between Cork and Waterford in Páirc Ui Chaoimh.
