The Cork U20 football panel for the upcoming Munster championship contains just three survivors from the team beaten in last year’s provincial U20 decider.

One of that trio, Newmarket’s Hugh O’Connor, will captain the side in 2024. O’Connor was at centre-forward when Cork went down to Kerry by 2-12 to 1-6 in last year’s Munster U20 final.
