Tom Devine back for UCC replay despite club fixture

Tom Devine will return to the UCC team for this Saturday’s Cork SHC quarter-final replay against Sarsfields, despite his club being involved in a West Waterford IHC knock-out fixture the following day.

Devine missed last Sunday’s drawn game at Páirc Uí Rinn, as his club, Modeligo, were in action in the Waterford IHC. Modeligo beat Clashmore/Kinsalebeg by 2-16 to 0-13 to reach the knockout stages and they’re pencilled in for a 6pm start against Stradbally on Sunday.

Whether the Waterford hurler plays the full hour in Saturday’s Cork SHC replay (7.15pm at Páirc Uí Rinn) remains to be seen, but he is expected to tog out.
