EXPERIENCED CORK FORWARDS Ciaran Sheehan and Luke Connolly return to their starting side for Saturday’s Division 2 league encounter with Laois.
Sheehan, the only member of the county’s 2010 All-Ireland triumph still involved in the squad, came off the bench in last Saturday’s loss to Kildare and scored a point.
Connolly last played in the Munster final loss to Tipperary last November, scoring 0-4 in the first half before coming off injured at half time.
The pair are both selected in the full-forward line as part of three changes to the team with Kevin O’Donovan coming in at wing-back. Colm O’Callaghan, Brian Hurley and Cathail O’Mahony are the players to make way.
Mark Collins is an addition on the bench as Cork seek to bounce back from the four-point defeat to Kildare in Thurles.
Waterford have also named their team for Saturday’s trip away to face Wexford in Division 4 of the league.
