Rebels rejig for Donegal as Kelly replaces Sheehan

Paddy Kelly has earned a recall to the Cork starting line-up for next Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Donegal at Croke Park.

Kelly’s inclusion in manager Conor Counihan’s team has sparked speculation that the Ballincollig clubman will be asked to pick up Donegal’s roving dynamo Mark McHugh.

Kelly has been named at centre forward but possesses the energy levels and running power to track McHugh, whose ability to pick up possession in deep-lying positions and instigate Donegal attacks is a key weapon in the Ulster champions’ weaponry.
