Cork boss Peadar Healy continues to mix and match

Cork 3-6 Reardens All Stars 1-6: The bad weather spoiled this inaugural challenge match between the Cork seniors and an All Star club selection in Clonakilty yesterday.

A small crowd turned up, while the wind and rain affected the quality of football. Credit to both teams though, they toughed it out in difficult conditions, and for Cork manager Peadar Healy it was a useful workout ahead of the McGrath Cup final against Clare in Mallow on Friday night.

“We are preparing for the National League but our immediate concern is Clare on Friday night and giving players we haven’t seen game time. We will bring in a few more again on Friday night and we will continue to use the players we brought in for the start of the McGrath Cup and give them more game time.
