Cork give Lehane and McLoughlin the nod to face Galway

Cork have made two changes for Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final with Galway at Croke Park, Conor Lehane and Lorcan McLoughlin replacing Niall McCarthy and Daniel Kearney, respectively.

Manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy retains the same defensive line-up to face the Galway attack which took Kilkenny for 2-21 in their historic Leinster final victory, while McLoughlin comes in for Sars youngster Kearney at midfield.

Conor Lehane was forced to cry off before the Waterford game due to illness but has recovered and forces his way back onto the starting side at the expense of Niall McCarthy. Na Piarsaigh’s Christopher Joyce is named in the subs, having recovered from a hand injury.
