Striking stars return to Rebels squad

Cork caretaker manager John Considine has made 14 changes to the Rebels side for their NHL encounter with Clare on Sunday.

Considine’s decision to include 14 of the county’s striking stars means left corner-back Conor O'Sullivan is the only player who featured in the earlier rounds of the league to make the starting lime-up.

Seán Óg Ó hAilpín, Joe Deane, Diarmuid O'Sullivan, Jerry O'Connor and Brian Murphy are the only big names missing from the Cork squad.

CORK team to face Clare in Cusack Park on Sunday at 2.30pm:

D Óg Cusack; S O'Neill, E Cadogan, C O'Sullivan; J Gardiner, R Curran, K Hartnett; T Kenny, C Naughton; B O'Connor, N McCarthy, P Cronin; P Horgan, N Ronan, K Murphy
Subs: M Coleman, C Murphy, K McGann, G Callanan, B Johnson, K Murphy, T Óg Murphy, B Corry, P O'Sullivan.
