PATRICK HORGAN HAS been named on the bench for Corkโs All-Ireland preliminary hurling quarter-final against Antrim, with Tim OโMahony brought in to start in attack.
Manager Kieran Kingston has made that sole change in the team he has announced for the game in Corrigan Park in Belfast on Saturday afternoon.
Horgan has been the star attacker in the Cork team over the past decade, a four-time All-Star winner and recently hit a milestone as he became the top scorer in the history of the hurling championship.
OโMahony has been established as a wing-back in recent seasons but came off the bench to impress in attack towards the end of the Munster round-robin series, finding the net in the win last time out over Tipperary.
Cork have made one alteration to their replacements with Mark Keane named instead of Eoin Downey, who is exam-tied as he began his Leaving Cert this week.
Saturdayโs game throws-in at 2pm and is available to livestream on GAAGO. The winners will advance to face Galway at the All-Ireland quarter-final stage.

Come on Rovers!!!!
Letโs go, Rovers!
Wtf? Why are we seeing queenโs funeral plans on here? Spare us please. Sheโs not our queen.
@James Finlay: WTF what? This is about Shamrock Rovers not the Queen. Go back to reading about the Queen if you want to make daft comments. Well done Rovers
@Mick Hyland: you obviously werenโt following the match on here, where the commentary was interrupted to share news about plans for the queenโs funeral. So thanks for making my point for me. I had no interest as I wanted to read about Rovers. Gombeen.
@James Finlay: No I was watching it on TV.
