O'Connor drafted in for Cork

Youngster Cian O'Connor has been chosen to replace the injured John Gardiner on the Cork team for Sunday's All-Ireland semi-final against Wexford at Croke Park.

The U21 star goes directly into Gardiner's right half-back position in only his second senior championship game - he began the provincial opening round match against Kerry.

Gardiner was ruled out after sustaining a hand injury in a recent club football championship game.

The Erins Owen youngster's inclusion is the only change from the side that trounced northerners Antrim in the quarter-final.

CORK (SH v Wexford): D Óg Cusack; W Sherlock, D O’Sullivan, B Murphy; C O’Connor, R Curran, S Óg Ó hAilpín; T Kenny, J O’Connor; B O’Connor, N McCarthy, T McCarthy; K Murphy, B Corcoran, J Deane.
