Injury woes puts young Rebels under pressure

CORK boss Brian Cuthbert could be without two key defenders for Sunday’s Munster MFC final against Tipperary in Fitzgerald Stadium.

Bishopstown full-back Conor Dorman is almost certain to miss the game due to a medial ligament injury while Tadgh MacCarthaigh’s centre-back Brian O’Driscoll is also a doubt after breaking a bone in his hand in training last Wednesday night.

Ballincollig player Luke Prendergast, who has been a substitute for Cork’s two games this season, has been ruled out with a dislocated kneecap.
