Cork ring changes for Donegal

As expected, Cork have made wholesale changes for Sunday’s Division 1 semi-final against Donegal from the team that beat Derry last Sunday.

In all, Brian Cuthbert has made seven personnel switches with the side more reflective of the line-up that beat Mayo in Páirc Uí Rinn the previous weekend. Jamie O’Sullivan, James Loughrey, Brian O’Driscoll, Eoin Cadogan, Fintan Goold, Colm O’Neill and Brian Hurley all return to the team.

Mark Collins will wear No14 although he has been operating in midfield where Cadogan and Goold are selected to start for the first time since beating Tyrone last month. As they were against Mayo, the three O’Driscoll brothers are again chosen, Brian having led Cork’s U21s in last night’s Munster final defeat against Tipperary. Tom Clancy is named on the bench after recovering from a hamstring injury.
