Murphy, O'Sullivan back in Cork football line-up

Nicholas Murphy and Kevin O'Sullivan have returned to the Cork starting line-up for Sunday's re-fixed NFL Division 1A trip to Tyrone (Healy Park, Omagh).

Both players were introduced off the bench in last weekend's 0-06 to 0-03 win over Fermanagh in atrocious conditions at Pairc Ui Rinn.

Murphy, a noted midfielder who had shoulder trouble at the start of the campaign, comes in for Fintan Gould at full-forward, while O'Sullivan gets a start ahead of John Hayes at the top of the left.

Both Gould and Hayes are members of the Cork Under-21 team that will take on Tipperary in the Cadbury's Munster U-21 FC semi-final on Saturday (Gaelic Grounds, Limerick, 2.00pm).

Michael Shields and Daniel Goulding are also unavailable to senior boss Billy Morgan as pivotal members of the U-21 side.

Ilen Rovers clubman O'Sullivan has scored 0-05 in his last two NFL games for Cork.

Nemo's James Masters kicked five of the Rebels' six points last Sunday.

CORK (NFL v Tyrone) - A Quirke; M Prout, G Canty, K O’Connor; S Levis, G Spillane, A Lynch; D Hurley, D Kavanagh; C McCarthy, D Niblock, K McMahon; J Masters, N Murphy, K O’Sullivan.
