CORK HAVE BROUGHT a member of the Nemo Rangers side that contested last March’s All-Ireland club final into their starting team for tomorrow night’s EirGrid Munster U20 football semi-final against Clare.
Kevin O’Donovan is named to start at left half-back in the only change from the side that defeated Tipperary last Friday with Tom Linehan making way.
O’Donovan was part of the Nemo Rangers rearguard when they lost out on St Patrick’s Day against Corofin while he also came on as a substitute in last year’s Munster U21 final against Kerry.
Cork have added two forwards to their bench in Mark Buckley and Blake Murphy. Buckley hit 2-2 in the 2016 Munster minor final against Kerry and also came on as a sub in the 2017 provincial U21 decider.
Throw-in is 7.30pm in Páirc Uí Rinn.
