HENRY SHEFFLIN AND Darragh Egan have both shaken up their starting sides for Saturday’s Division 1 hurling league encounters.

Galway travel to face Cork in Páirc Uí Chaoimh at 7pm, while earlier in the day Wexford are at home to Offaly at 2pm.

Galway bring Eanna Murphy into goal, Tiernan Killeen, at wing-back and Johnny Coen at midfield. Then in the Tribesmen attack there was starting places handed to wing-foward Jack Hastings, full-forward Conor Whelan and corner-forward Gavin Lee, the exciting teenage talent who played for Presentation Athenry in the All-Ireland Croke Cup quarter-final last Monday night.

Darach Fahy, Gearoid McInerney, Joseph Cooney, Cianan Fahy, Kevin Cooney and John Fleming are the players to make way.
