Captain Eoghan Nash is the only survivor from last year’s All-Ireland win on the Cork minor football side to face Kerry tomorrow night.

There will have been 471 days between the Rebels’ victory over Galway in Croke Park in September 2019 and the clash in Austin Stack Park in Tralee (7pm) and Cork manager Bobbie O’Dwyer and his selectors have been forced by circumstances to go for a young team.

Douglas man Nash is joined at midfield by Shane Kingston of Ballinora.

Kingston and Kanturk pair Colin and Tommy Walsh – younger brother of Aidan – were all part of the Cork minor hurling set-up this year, too.
