CORK AND TIPPERARY have both named their starting line-ups for this weekend’s Allianz Football League Division 2 games against Cavan and Meath respectively.

Tipperary welcome the Royals to Semple Stadium tomorrow evening (7pm), while the Rebels — who are in second place — host leaders Cavan at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday (1pm).

Cork manager Ronan McCarthy has made five changes in personnel to his side following their victory over Louth a fortnight ago, with Anthony Casey coming in for his debut.

Casey takes the place of Ryan Price in goal. Michael McSweeney replaces Sean Wilson at corner-back and Brian O’Driscoll starts at centre-back in place of Conor Dorman.

Cillian O’Hanlon partners captain Ian Maguire in midfield, so Ruairi Deane switches to left half-forward at the expense of Kevin O’Driscoll. Kevin Flahive swaps half-back for half-forward, and Sean White moves to centre-forward instead of Michael Hurley, who replaces Stephen Sherlock at corner-forward.
