Cork hurling manager Kieran Kingston has made four changes to his team for tomorrow’s Allianz League Division 1A clash against Tipperary.

Sean O’Leary Hayes, Robert Downey, Shane Kingston, and Alan Cadogan come into the side, with Sean O’Donoghue, Seamus Harnedy, and corner-forward pair Jack O’Connor and Shane Barrett the quartet from the starting team that overcame Waterford to lose out here.

Tim O’Mahony, half-back against Waterford, moves to midfield, while Darragh Fitzgibbon, who operated in the middle of the park last Sunday, pushes up to the half-forward line.

Joe Canning is named among the Galway subs for Sunday’s visit of All-Ireland champions Limerick to Salthill.

There are four changes to the Galway side that comfortably overcame Westmeath in the county’s League opener. Adrian Tuohey, Padraic Mannion, David Burke, and Joseph Cooney are drafted into the starting team, with Aidan Harte, Shane Cooney, Johnny Coen, and Conor Cooney making way.
