IT’S BEEN A busy few weeks for Cork hurling goalkeeper Patrick Collins.

Now Collins has been named in goal for the Cork intermediate side to face Kilkenny in Sunday’s All-Ireland final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, just three days before the Cork U21′s take on Limerick in the Munster decider.
Collins is joined in the starting line-up for the intermediate showdown by his brother Michael at midfield. That duo lined out in Cork’s last Munster U21 final in 2014 as did wing-back Kevin Kavanagh and substitute Rob O’Shea, a former county senior player.
