CORK BOSS EPHIE Fitzgerald has included six dual players in the Rebels minor football squad that feature against Kerry tomorrow night.
The counties clash in the opening round of the Electric Ireland Munster MFC in Páirc Uí Rinn at 7pm.
Full-back Kieran Histon, wing-backs Kevin O’Neill and Rickard Cahalane, centre-forward Killian O’Connor, full-forward Michael Cahalane and substitute Trevor Horgan were all part of the county minor hurling side that defeated Clare last week.
Peter Kelleher is also a dual player but is ruled out through injury for tomorrow’s clash with the Kingdom.
Captain and centre-back Stephen Cronin, whose older brother Alan features for the county U21 side that play in Saturday’s All-Ireland semi-final against Cavan, and O’Connor are the only two survivors from the Cork minor side that lost to Tipperary at the Munster semi-final stage last year.
Aidan Moynihan also featured in that game and he is included in the substitutes for tomorrow night’s game. The Canovee player was part of the Rockwell College team that featured against Crescent College in this year’s Munster Schools Senior Cup final.
