Walsh named in strong Cork U21 team

CORK U21 hurlers have named five senior panellists for tomorrow night’s Munster hurling championship semi-final with Tipperary in Thurles.

Captain William Egan (Kilbrin) lines out at centre-back, Midleton’s Conor Lehane, who came on and scored a point in the seniors’ defeat in the Gaelic Grounds, will play at centre-forward, Midleton’s Luke O’Farrell and Newtownshandrum’s Jamie Coughlan will start at left and right corner-forward respectively with Jamie Nagle (Midleton) at right half-back.

Interestingly, Cork senior footballer Aidan Walsh is named at left half-forward and will add considerable bulk to a county seeking its first title at U21 grade since 2007.
