Updated at 12.09

SEAMUS HARNEDY IS set to start for Cork tonight as the Rebels look to reignite their championship challenge in the qualifiers, while Wexford have also named their starting XV.

Harnedy missed the defeat to Waterford with a recurrence of a hamstring injury but is fit to start at full-forward for the trip to Wexford.

Jimmy Barry-Murphy’s only other personnel change sees Castlemartyr’s Brian Lawton named at wing-forward for the Round 1 qualifier.

With Shane O’Neill ruled out with an ankle injury, Damien Cahalane has been named at corner-back with Aidan Walsh dropping to wing-back and Lawton slotting into the half-forward line.

Meanwhile, for Wexford, Paudie Foley makes his championship debut, Aidan Nolan starts and Daithi Waters drops to the bench.

Kevin Foley, a member of last year’s U21 team, also starts for the first time.

Throw-in at Wexford Park is at 7pm.
