New Cork manager Fergal McCormack has spread the net far and wide selecting players from 14 different clubs in his starting 15 for Friday night’s opening round of the Electric Ireland Munster MHC against Limerick at TUS Gaelic Grounds (7pm).

Na Piarsaigh are the sole club with two Cork starters in attackers Craig O’Sullivan and Callum Coffey - both of whom played starring roles for Gaelcholáiste Mhuire AG in reaching the Dr. Harty Cup semi-final and recently in ending a 34-year wait for the Dr. O’Callaghan Cup.
