Kerry and Cork name teams for McGrath Cup opener in Tralee

The two rivals go head-to-head in Austin Stack Park on Sunday.

KERRY AND CORK have both named their teams for Sunday’s McGrath Cup clash in Tralee.

Beaten All-Ireland finalists Kerry will host the Rebels at Austin Stack Park [KO 2pm] in the first round of the McGrath Cup, and both teams have named experimental sides.

The Kerry team contains a number of players who were part of the hugely successful minor teams that won five All-Ireland titles between 2014-2018.

Defenders Owen Fitzgerald and Dan McCarthy, and corner-forward Paul Walsh, were all on the 2018 All-Ireland minor team.

Cork have named a similarly experimental team, including a handful of players that won an All-Ireland U20 title in August as Maurice Shanley, Damien Gore and Cathail O Mahony all start.
