O’Shea and McMahon exit Rebel camp

CORK panellists Paddy O’Shea and Kevin McMahon have both opted of Conor Counihan’s senior football squad.

It is understood that the duo, who were both members of last September’s All-Ireland winning panel, withdrew for personal reasons.

St Vincent’s netminder O’Shea made four championship appearances during the 2007 campaign when he deputised for regular goalkeeper Alan Quirke who injured his shoulder and has gained a number of league appearances, including the recent defeat against Dublin in Croke Park.
