FIVE MEMBERS OF last year’s Cork minor football team are named to start for the county’s 2015 Munster MFC opener on Wednesday night.

Wing-back Sean Powter, who will captain the team, midfielder Daniel Ó Duinnín, wing-forward David Lowney, centre-forward Gary Murphy and full-forward Shane Kingston all started in the side that lost out last year at the All-Ireland quarter-final stage against Dublin.

Cork face Limerick on Wednesday night in the Gaelic Grounds at 7pm with Lowney and Kingston both hoping to taste success again at minor level after they played for the Cork minor hurling side that defeated Limerick last Wednesday night. Kingston shot 1-9 in that game for Cork.

Four members of the Rochestown College team that reached the Corn Uí Mhuirí final this year against eventual Hogan Cup winners PS Chorca Dhuibhne, are included in the side. All four are from the Douglas club with Kingston and Powter joined by Nathan Walsh and Eoin O’Brien.
