Midfielder O’Connor returns for Rebels

Alan O’Connor returns to the Cork team for tomorrow night’s trip to Portlaoise to face Laois in Division 1 of the Allianz Football League, having been forced to withdraw through injury before last Sunday’s loss to Donegal.

O’Connor comes in for Aidan Walsh at midfield in the only change made by manager Conor Counihan for the battle with Justin McNulty’s men. Macroom defender Eoin O’Mahony, who made his first competitive appearance for Cork last Sunday, continues to operate at full-back while UCC Sigerson Cup team-mates Mark Collins and Barry O’Driscoll keep their places at centre-forward and left corner-forward respectively.

Tyrone boss Mickey Harte has brought Justin McMahon back into the side for their clash with Westmeath tomorrow night. The Omagh man will play at full-back as Conor Clarke makes way. Harte maintains his rotation goalkeeper policy as Pascal McConnell comes in for John Devine.
