CORK HAVE MADE two changes to the side that lost out to Kerry in last month’s Munster final ahead of this weekend’s All-Ireland Round 4 qualifier against Laois.
The Rebels introduce Thomas Clancy and Kevin O’Driscoll to the starting line-up in place of Tom Clancy and Paul Kerrigan.
Defender Nathan Walsh is named in the team despite his injury concerns, while Eoghan McSweeney is added to the bench.
The two sides meet at Semple Stadium in Thurles on Saturday evening at 5pm.
Cork will be looking to bounce back from that three-point Munster final defeat to the Kingdom, while Laois come into the game off the back of victory over Offaly.
