CORK BOSS JIMMY Barry-Murphy has made six changes to his team for tomorrow’s Waterford Crystal Cup semi-final against Clare in Mallow.
Cork have defeated third-level opponents UL and Cork IT but have now decided to shake things up before the meeting with Davy Fitzgerald’s side.
Damien Cahalane and Sean O’Donoghue are introduced to the full-back line while Peter Kelleher, Cian McCarthy and Brian Lawton form the half-forward line, and Luke O’Farrell will start at full-forward.
William Kearney, Christopher Joyce, Alan Frahill-O’Connor, Dayne Lee and Paudie O’Sullivan all drop to the bench while injury rules out Paul Haughney.

With 3 majors under his belt he has nothing to prove to anyone.
Irelands Greatest Sportsman…3 Majors later…Legend
that would be Joey Dunlop
That would be ridiculous…..
He decided to change his swing after winning 3 majors and hasn’t been the same since..I don’t know much about the reason behind this but my thinking would be if it ain’t broke then don’t try fixing it. I realise that golfers have to adjust their game/swing as they get older but he changed his swing very quickly after winning the majors and it hasn’t really worked out. He’s still a legend and would love to see him back in the team for the ryder cup
As he got older, movement in his hips and knees were reduced. New swing attempts to compensate for this..
The changing his swing point gets over played. Harrington admits himself he has always done this and had been changing it prior to and between winning his majors. The swing changes aren’t as relevant, it’s the never ending obsessing with perfectionism that’s been both the key to his success and the obstacle holding him back from ever getting near it again.
All true but no way should he be picked for ryder cup
Harrington – 28 titles, 3 majors and nearly €29 million prize money in just 18 years.
He also has a golf range in the works with Dunnes, surprised he hasn’t opened his own range of ice cream shops, loves a 99 on the range does Paddy
All we would hear is “ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” and then the sign goes up on the TV “please do not adjust your set “!
If it’s good for me it’s good for my game eeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh
He is a legend of Irish golf. Unfortunately with all his tinkering, he appears to have lost touch with what made him so successful and that is the intangible ability to keep a score going even when not striking the ball well, which was frequently the case. Razor sharp short game was the key. I believe he has tried to become a better ball striker to the detriment of his overall game.
