Kerry wait on star men as Cork go same again

THEY may have been impossible to separate last Sunday, but Cork and Kerry have enjoyed very different fortunes this week with Jack O’Connor forced to delay naming his starting 15 until hours before Sunday’s game.

The Kingdom manager has been forced to hold off on his selection until the day of the replay in Páirc Uí Chaoimh due to injury concerns over a number of his key players.

Serious doubts persist over the fitness of Marc O Sé (shoulder), Mike McCarthy (Achilles) although the news on Paul Galvin (tonsillitis/ankle), Tommy Griffin (ankle) and Micheal Quirke (eye) has been more encouraging.
