Cork select strong side for Kerry test
The match was switched from Austin Stack Park to Rathmore yesterday following a pitch inspection at the Tralee venue. Cork manager Hughie Murphy has selected Shane Masters in goal, Stephen O’Mahony at midfield, Mark Sugrue at centre-forward and Sean Ryan at right corner-forward, all of whom featured during Cork’s run to last September’s All-Ireland minor decider. In addition Murphy has named Kerry minor Jeff O’Donoghue, a student at McEgan College in Macroom, at full-forward.
“We’ve had far few sessions than we’d hoped to have”, revealed Murphy. “We haven’t even managed to have a challenge game due to club commitments our players have had at minor and U21 level. In contrast Kerry have had two games, beating Tipperary and a very good Limerick side. They’ll be tough opposition for us.”
