Ben O'Connor: 'Park last year, park three years ago, and we are just focusing on Friday night'

Cork manager Ben O'Connor has named his side to play Waterford.

Such was the blitzkrieg manner in which they achieved All-Ireland minor hurling honours three years ago, it was inevitable that this season’s Cork U20 side would be drenched in expectation.

The unveiling of their starting team for this evening’s Munster championship round-robin opener away to Waterford (Fraher Field, 7pm) has only heightened that expectation.
