Joe Deane’s son, Cormac, is named at corner-forward on the Cork minor hurling team to play Tipperary in the county’s opening game of the Munster round-robin on Thursday evening.

Cormac is following very much in the decorated footsteps of his All-Ireland winning dad by occupying the left corner-forward berth Joe won two All-Stars in.
