CORK HAVE UNVEILED their starting team for Wednesday night’s EirGrid Munster U21 football semi-final against Waterford.
Manager Sean Hayes has kept faith with the starting fifteen that saw off Clare by 0-23 to 0-8 in last Wednesday’s quarter-final tie in Cooraclare.
Sean O’Donoghue and Brian Coakley were the star attackers in that win as they hit a combined 0-11 between them.
Peter Kelleher starts at full-forward after lining out for the Cork senior side in the league against Monaghan on Sunday.
Fellow senior panellists Stephen Cronin – who captains the team – and Kieran Histon, are named at centre-back and wing-back respectively.
Cork are aiming to reach the final for the fifth successive year on Wednesday night.
Throw-in at the Fraher Field in Dungarvan is 7.30pm.

A great fighter , and a very modest one . Rip
Jesus I’m old
God rest his soul.
Barry probably fought an over the hill champion when he beat Pedroza. Would he have beaten the great Panamanian at his peak. I doubt it.
@Gus Lennon: Over the hill at 29 ???
@Groundhurling: It’s fair to say that, when he fought McGuigan, Pedrosa was on the wane. 7 years is a long time at the top in any sport, but especially in boxing. In retrospect, the “real” title fight was McGuigan V Laporte. That was McGuigan’s best ever performance. He became de facto world champion with that victory.
Give me an awful fright there lads. Thought Barry had kicked the bucket for a second.
