PATRICK HORGAN HAS been named on the bench for Cork’s All-Ireland preliminary hurling quarter-final against Antrim, with Tim O’Mahony brought in to start in attack.
Manager Kieran Kingston has made that sole change in the team he has announced for the game in Corrigan Park in Belfast on Saturday afternoon.
Horgan has been the star attacker in the Cork team over the past decade, a four-time All-Star winner and recently hit a milestone as he became the top scorer in the history of the hurling championship.
O’Mahony has been established as a wing-back in recent seasons but came off the bench to impress in attack towards the end of the Munster round-robin series, finding the net in the win last time out over Tipperary.
Cork have made one alteration to their replacements with Mark Keane named instead of Eoin Downey, who is exam-tied as he began his Leaving Cert this week.
Saturday’s game throws-in at 2pm and is available to livestream on GAAGO. The winners will advance to face Galway at the All-Ireland quarter-final stage.
