CORK MANAGER KIERAN Kingston has named Mark Ellis in his team to face Tipperary in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship quarter-final this weekend.

The Rebels are in action at Semple Stadium on Sunday afternoon (4pm) and Millstreet clubman Ellis, a centre-back by trade, is included at full-back with captain Stephen McDonnell ruled out with a broken elbow.

25-year-old Ellis missed much of the league campaign after breaking his arm in the defeat to Dublin back in March.
