Rebel hurlers moving to CIT
The Rebels will have access to the facilities at CIT which include a 1,200 seat fully covered stadium and aninternational-standard eight lane athletics track. Last year CIT signed a similar agreement with MunsterRugby which saw the Cork based members of Tony McGahan’s squad and academy use CIT’s elite gym as the primary base for their preparations.
Meanwhile, Cork manager Conor Counihan has made seven changes for Sunday’s McGrath Cup semi-final against Cork IT in Páirc Uí Rinn from the team that defeated Clare in last Sunday’s quarter-final. David Lordan will start in goal, Sean Kiely and Paudie Kissane are drafted into the half-back positions, while Pearse O’Neill and Michéal Ó Laoire will form a new midfield partnership.
