JBM looking to future as he bloods young Rebels

Jimmy Barry-Murphy believes creating competition in his current Cork squad is not just important for now, but also for the future.

The Rebels have put massive faith in youth this season with the average age of the starting team just 24. Darren Sweetnam and Christopher Joyce have been handed championship debuts while Damien Cahalane will make his first championship start tomorrow against Wexford.

“Well we didn’t particularly sit down and pick the lads because they’re young,” Barry-Murphy told RedFM’s Big Red Bench.
