Two changes to Cork team ahead of All-Ireland hurling final against Galway

The counties clash in the intermediate decider next Saturday night.

CORK HAVE MADE two changes for next Saturday’s All-Ireland intermediate hurling final against Galway in the Gaelic Grounds.

After the victory over Limerick in last month’s Munster final, manager Ronan Dwane has brought Kevin O’Neill and Darren O’Driscoll in to his starting side.

O’Neill starts at midfield after coming on as a substitute in that provincial decider while O’Driscoll impressed last weekend in local championship action for his club Carrigtwohill.

Martin Brennan and Luke Meade are the two players to make way as they drop to the bench. One positional change sees Tony Murphy switch to wing-forward.

Murphy struck 0-4 in that win over Limerick while top scorer in that game was corner-forward Noel McNamara with 0-7.

Throw-in on Saturday evening is 7pm.

    I’m a united fan, but, in united, the Glazers have their own personal license to print money, (literally billions). The only way they’ll ever be gotten rid of is legislation, or if its no longer profitable.
    Media/social media pressure, will make zero difference.

    @Martin Malone: Social media pressure is making a huge difference. Team Viewer who recently partnered with the glazers at United saw stocks fall by 4% in one day. Trustpilot now banning reviews pn them after all the negativity. Once sponsors start falling, the Glazers become out of pocket and will sell

    @Hugh: I genuinely hope you’re right …I just think news comes and goes so quick these days ..In a few weeks it will be as if nothing has happened…we’ll pay over the odds for Sancho…and all will be forgotten… we’ll pick up odd cups here and there…and eventually when the club is no longer as profitable…it will be sold. Hope ta f I’m wrong.

    Gary Neville mentioned the ground at old Trafford is in dire need of upgrading , rats were reported seen around the seats last year and so forth , he said the glaziers are siphoning money out of the club etc . I’m lost in wonder when I consider the glazers have pumped almost a billion in to buying players , they’ve won numerous trophies and sacked managers the fans weren’t happy with . Sir Alex never complained about them and I think he wouldn’t hold back if he thought the club was being wronged , especially when he had nothing to lose at the end of his reign .They are business people at the end of the day . The recent rioting by united yobs was disgraceful , the decent ones are disgusted I’d imagine ? A peaceful one should have been the norm .

    @Tricksy: glazers bought the club with a loan
    Transferred the debt of the loan to the club
    Have put $0 of their own money back into the club
    All transfers have came from revenue
    They have taken 2 billion from the club
    Agree with the peaceful protest.

    @Pauly Kels: previous Liverpool owner hick s and Gillett did the exact same and nearly put the club out of business , but they never sourced transfers like the Glazers Pauly . It seems this is an American business model ? Don’t think if fsg came under the same model but definitely the price they paid is only a pittance to what it’s worth now . I think the breakaway would destroy the game , but the fiddler calls the tune and it won’t go away .Sir Alex always had me wondering about why he stayed quiet on the Glazers . Stan kronke put a brand new stadium around Arsenal , so what owners do isn’t all bad .

    @Tricksy: lfc were very lucky hicks and gillett owernship only lasted 3.5 years, this is going on 16 yrs with utd.the transfers that were sourced all funds were made available from revenue not a cent from the glazers pockets.yes exactly that breakaway would have destroyed football.

    If they’re not going to reduce the mountain of debt they’ve lumped on the club then this letter is useless as that’s really the core issue most fans have. If they don’t reduce debt then they can feck off. They’re only parasites feeding off the club.

    Thw money from united went to gwt tom brandy to to the Bucs. They win thw super bowl and the money stays in Tampa
    Orignally when they bought the bucs. They wanted a new stadium or they moved. The Tampa government built one. Been there a few times fine place. But again a freebee. Ols Trafford hasnt been updated in years, it will fall behind the rest. All because of greed.
