Cork remain unchange for Munster MHC clash with Waterford
Cork have named an unchanged team for their penultimate outing in the Munster MHC round-robin at home to Waterford on Friday evening (Páirc Uí Rinn, 7pm). Manager Fergal McCormack has kept faith with the 15 that started the Round 3 win away to Clare a fortnight ago. With opponents Waterford also boasting two wins from two outings, whoever claims the two points on offer at Páirc Uí Rinn will be pretty much assured of Munster final involvement. Certainly, if Clare and Limerick were to draw in the other of Friday's Round 4 fixtures (TUS Gaelic Grounds, 7pm), then the winner of Cork-Waterford will be confirmed Munster finalists with a round to spare. The two Munster minor finalists are guaranteed All-Ireland semi-final and quarter-final berths respectively, with the third and fourth-placed counties moving onto the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals. CORK (Munster MHC v Waterford): TC Walsh (Aghada); D Heavin (Russell Rovers), D Fitzgerald (Bride Rovers), C Lawton (Midleton); MT Brosnan (Glen Rovers), B Carroll (Dromina), C Garde (Lisgoold); TA Walsh (Carrigtwohill), J Counihan (Watergrasshill); R Donovan (Fermoy), C Deane (Killeagh), R Dineen (Erin's Own); G O'Sullivan (Na Piarsaigh), C Coffey (Na Piarsaigh), E O'Shea (Ballinhassig). WATERFORD (Munster MHC v Cork): J Comerford (Ballygunner); C Lynch (Geraldines), D Murphy (St Mary's East), D Keane (De La Salle); B Penkert (Mount Sion), H Quann (Lismore), C Power (De La Salle); G O'Shea (St Molleran's), P Quann (Dungarvan); E Burke (Roanmore), J Power (Ballygunner), T Kennedy (Mount Sion); C Spain (Ballygunner), S Power (De La Salle), J Shanahan (Erin's Own). CLARE (Munster MHC v Limerick): L Talty (St Joseph's Doora-Barefield); D Murrihy (Inagh-Kilnamona), N Doyle (Éire Óg Ennis), Z Phelan (Sixmilebridge); E Crimmins (Newmarket-on-Fergus), D Kennedy (Ballyea), J O'Halloran (Sixmilebridge); G Ball (St Joseph's Doora-Barefield), E Cleary (Ballyea); G Marshall (Parteen-Meelick), J Barry (Inagh-Kilnamona), J Gibbons (Whitegate); I O'Brien (Cratloe), P Rodgers (Scariff), L Murphy (O'Callaghan's Mills).
