Cork’s inter-county stars turn to club matters

Nine of the Cork panel involved in last Sunday’s Allianz Football League defeat to Kerry will shift their attention to domestic action tonight for the start of the divisional and colleges section of this year’s Cork SFC.

Three games are down for decision and Rebels boss Conor Counihan will be hoping his players emerge unscathed as they face their second tie in three days and get set for next Sunday’s Division 1 trip to Elverys MacHale Park in Castlebar to face Mayo in a game crucial to Cork’s aspirations to reaching the knockout stages of this year’s league.

Defensive duo Ray Carey and Paudie Kissane and attacker Colm O’Neill will be involved with Avondhu, semi-finalists last season, as they face Cork IT in Fermoy at 7.30pm.
