CORK AND TIPPERARY have announced their teams for Sunday’s mouth-watering Munster SHC meeting at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

John Meyler has handed a debut to corner-back Niall O’Leary in an otherwise experienced starting XV for the Rebels. Patrick Horgan leads a formidable front six, while Alan Cadogan is not part of the 26-man squad.

Brendan Maher is the notable inclusion in Liam Sheedy’s Tipperary team, completing his comeback from the torn ACL he suffered last summer. Seamus Callanan is named to start at centre-forward with Jason Forde occupying the number 14 role. 

The Galway and Carlow teams for their Leinster SHC encounter have also been revealed. Jason Flynn replaces the injured Joe Canning at centre-forward, while Cathal Mannion and David Burke are paired at midfield.
