CORK HAVE RUNG the change for Sundayโs long trip to play Derry in Division 1 of the Allianz football league.
The Rebels have already secured a semi-final spot and face a Derry team that were relegated after losing to Dublin last Saturday. Injuries and U21 football commitments have robbed manager Brian Cuthbert of several players.
Heโs brought Tom Clancy in at corner-back, Stephen OโDonoghue at centre-back and Patrick Kelly at midfield. The attack sees John OโRourke and Barry OโDriscoll come in to fill the wing-forward slots while Daniel Goulding and John Hayes will start in the corner-forward positions.
James Loughrey, Brian Hurley, Colm OโNeill along Kevin and Colm OโDriscoll, drop to the bench while injury rules out Jamie OโSullivan and Brian OโDriscoll is tied up with U21 commitments ahead of next Thursdayโs Munster final.
An interesting inclusion amongst the substitutes is goalkeeper Paddy OโShea, who was part of the Cork squad that won the All-Ireland in 2010 but then left the panel in early 2011. Injuries also rule out Eoin Cadogan, Donncha OโConnor and Ruairi Deane for Cork.

Theyโll need to start looking at their discipline first
@mainmsam: need to replace their coaches.
@Oran Burns: Too late for this WC. And, bad as they are, theyโve every chance of getting to a QF, and probably an even chance of winning that and getting to the Semi
@Oran Burns: but he is doing a great job
Even a woeful england side have good chance making semi final with the draw how sad
Comedian in the making
Hows Dan?
