TWO EX-CORK senior defenders have been named in the county’s junior side who face Limerick in a Munster semi-final clash next Sunday.

Corner-back John McLoughlin and wing-back Sean Kiely both have recent senior league experience with the Rebels. Kiely will captain the side.

McLoughlin is one of three members of the Cork U21 side that won the All-Ireland title back in 2009, who will start on Sunday.

Goalkeeper Anthony Seymour and wing-back Bart Daly were also part of that victorious side.

Midfielder Micheál Ó Laoire and the half-forward line of John Corkery, Brian Coughlan and Mark Sugrue are all recent Munster U21 football medal winners with the county as well.
