With the option of experimenting significantly hindered by both Cork colleges being in Sigerson Cup action on Wednesday, the Cork team to face Tipperary in Tuesday’s McGrath Cup (Cappawhite, 7pm) contains 10 players who featured in last summer's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final exit.

Among those is Conor Cahalane who will make his first start for the Cork footballers after his debut 2025 campaign saw him used exclusively off the bench.
