CORK HAVE HANDED Sean Powter a first start in 14 months as they bid to escape relegation from Division 2 in Sunday’s final round of the Allianz football league.
Cork must win in their trip to face Armagh in the Athletic Grounds while hoping for a Tipperary win or draw in their last game with Clare in Thurles.
Powter has not started for Cork since suffering a hamstring injury in January 2018 in a league tie against Tipperary. He made his comeback last month against Meath when he scored a goal, while he also came off the bench in the recent ties with Tipperary and Donegal.
The Douglas man comes in at centre-forward in one of three changes from that loss last Saturday against Donegal with Clonakilty’s Mark White starting in goal and Fermoy’s Tomas Clancy named at centre-back. Nemo Rangers duo Luke Connolly and Micheál Martin are both out injured while St Finbarr’s defender Sam Ryan drops to the bench.
Throw-in at the Athletic Grounds on Saturday is 2pm.
