Sean Óg at midfield as Cork give Sweetnam the nod

Cork senior hurling selector Seanie McGrath says Seán Óg Ó hAilpín has “trained superbly” since returning to the Rebels squad and will be expected to help his rookie midfield partner, Darren Sweetnam, through tomorrow’s Allianz HL opener against Waterford.

McGrath added that Ó hAilpín’s adaptability made him an obvious choice for midfield.

“The half-back line is strong, John Gardiner, William Egan and Ross Cashman are there on merit,” said McGrath.
