THERE ARE THREE changes to the Cork team that will play Clare in Allianz Hurling League Division 1A at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday (7.00pm).
Following last weekend’s defeat to Kilkenny, Rebels manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy has drafted in Lorcán McLoughlin, Rob O’Shea and Luke O’Farrell.
McLoughlin comes in at wing-back, with Aidan Walsh switching to midfield and Patrick Cronin dropping to the bench.
O’Shea starts at wing-forward in place of the injured Bill Cooper — a change which sees Seamus Harnedy move in to the centre — and Paudie O’Sullivan is replaced at full-forward by O’Farrell.

I like GAA too! If only I cold find a way to wriggle out of my PAYE obligations, I could then throw out a bit of the cash I’d save to my pet sport and everyone would say I’m a great fella.
@Hibernicus: There’s always one who has nothing good to say.
@Richard Ford: You misunderstood, I am inspired & keen to emulate the great man!
@Hibernicus: the man owns and runs a Swiss based company where he is clearly doing pretty well. This is also where he pays tax. I appreciate that might be a difficult concept to wrap your head around when you’ve likely spent your life in the one village.
@Hibernicus: . Well then please do your very best to do so. All donations gratefully accepted Hibernicus.
@Hibernicus: typical
@Paul Odeier: succinct!
@Hibernicus:you come across as a great fella.revenue are crying out for great fellas
As I said to Shane below, we are a tax haven. Tax avoidance is the way of the world. We gratefully accept multiple billions from corporations who base their headquarters here to avoid tax. We can’t have it both ways. People be careful not to fall off their high horses.
Fantastic balanced journalism from the headline down, exactly why I decided to pay for a subscription.
I look forward to the day when I can stop paying tax like all the smart people and donate an iPad to the club raffle for a gushing write-up in the local paper.
@Shane Griffin: When are you expecting to become one of the smart people?
@Shane Griffin: how do you feel about the fact that Ireland is a tax haven? Do you think we should send back the multiple billions we receive from tax dodging corporations every year???
