Injuries force Cork to hand out debuts

Cork hurling boss Donal O'Grady will hand championship debuts to three players for Sunday's Munster clash against Kerry.

With Wayne Sherlock and Pat Mulcahy both injured O'Grady has opted to start Brian Murphy and Cian O'Connor in defence.

Last year's skipper Alan Browne is still absent so Jerry O'Connor moves into corner-forward with Jon O'Callaghan starting in the other corner in place of Setanta O hAilpin.

Cork (SHC v Kerry): D Og Cusack; B Murphy, D O'Sullivan, C O'Connor; T Kenny, R Curran, S Og O hAilpin; J Gardiner, M O'Connell; J O'Connor, N McCarthy, T McCarthy; J O'Callaghan, J Deane, B O'Connor.
