PEADAR HEALY HAS made five changes to the Rebels’ football team for their McGrath Cup tie with Waterford in Dungarvan on Sunday at 2pm.

The Cork footballers were one-point winners against Limerick last weekend but their new manager, Peadar Healy, has made five changes for Suday’s trip to Waterford.

Brendan O’Connell replaces Micheál Martin in goal, while Bart Daly and James Loughrey come into the defence at the expense of Lorcan Harrington and Alan O’Donovan.

In attack, Andrew O’Sullivan and Castlehaven’s Mark Collins come in for Shane Beston and Kevin O’Driscoll on the wings.
