CORK BOSS KIERAN Kingston has announced his 30-man squad for this year’s Allianz hurling league.
Blackrock duo Cathal Cormack and Stephen Murphy are two newcomers called up along with Aghada’s William Leahy.
Sarsfields duo Cian McCarthy and Conor O’Sullivan return having missed last year’s championship, as does defender William Egan. That experienced trio all featured in the team that reached the 2013 All-Ireland final against Clare.
There are also recalls for defender Colm Spillane and midfielder Paul Haughney who have been previously involved while Christopher Joyce is out injured.
From last year’s championship squad Brian Murphy has retired while William Kearney, Aidan Ryan, Rob O’Shea, Jamie Coughlan and Darren McCarthy are no longer involved.
Cork’s first game is away to Galway in Division 1A on 14 February.
