Jimmy Barry-Murphy makes three changes as Cork ready for Clare clash

There are three changes to the Cork senior hurling side for tomorrow night’s Allianz Hurling Division 1A clash with Clare in Páirc Uí Rinn.

Having lost at home to Kilkenny in their opening game last Saturday, Jimmy Barry-Murphy and his selectors have opted against sweeping changes, though Luke O’Farrell’s goal against the Cats means that he has played his way on to the side.

The Midleton man is chosen at full-forward in a direct swap with Paudie O’Sullivan, while Bill Cooper’s broken toe means that he misses out and Robert O’Shea comes into the half-forward line in his place. Lorcán McLoughlin is picked at right half-back with Pa Cronin the player to make way as McLoughlin’s Kanturk clubmate Aidan Walsh moves to midfield to partner Daniel Kearney.
