Cork footballers hope for fringe benefits

While pre-season competitions like the McGrath Cup exist as opportunities to win silverware, giving game-time to fringe players is the primary objective.

This year, though, the opportunity to evaluate newcomers is at even more of a premium, according to Cork selector Eoin O’Neill.

Having beaten Limerick last week, Peadar Healy’s side travel to An Rinn to take on Waterford tomorrow (2pm), knowing that victory will secure a place in the final.
