JACK O’CONNOR AND Alan Connolly are set to make their first starts of the National Hurling League when Cork meet Galway at 7pm on Saturday in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
Injuries limited both players’ contributions to Cork’s league wins over Clare, Offaly and Limerick, albeit both came off the bench against the All-Ireland champions last weekend.
Damien Cahalane replaces Niall O’Leary who suffered a head injury against Limerick. Rob Downey and Seamus Harnedy also start, with Ciarán Joyce marked absent from the squad, Shane Kingston suspended and Conor Lehane and Mark Keane moving to the bench.
