Cork have handed out three championship debuts for Saturday’s Munster SFC semi-final against Limerick in Páirc Uí Rinn.
Corner-back Nathan Walsh of Douglas, Clonakilty’s Liam O’Donovan at wing-back and wing-forward Eoghan McSweeney (Knocknagree) are all given their first starts by Ronan McCarthy.
There are just seven survivors in the starting line-up from the 15 which began Cork’s last championship game, the disappointing defeat to Tyrone last July – goalkeeper Mark White, James Loughrey, Kevin Flahive, captain Ian Maguire, Ruairí Deane, Brian Hurley and Mark Collins.
