Brian Cuthbert rings the changes as Cork prepare for qualifier with Sligo

The Rebels will try to bounce back from the Munster final humbling this weekend.

LAST TIME OUT, the Rebels were humbled by archrivals Kerry in the last provincial football decider at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Tonight, boss Brian Cuthbert has named a side with six changes for the All-Ireland qualifier against Sligo this weekend.

Brothers Brian and Colm O’Driscoll, Ian Maguire, Mark Collins, Colm O’Neill and Donal Óg Hodnett all come into the team.

Damien Cahalane, Fintan Goold, Patrick Kelly, Daniel Goulding, Barry O’Driscoll and John O’Rourke are named the bench.

Aidan Walsh — who won a Munster hurling medal with Jimmy Barry Murphy’s side a week after the football final — is selected in midfield.
