Skibb's Kevin Davis will start for Cork footballers against Kerry in McGrath Cup

BY KIERAN McCARTHY

O’DONOVAN Rossa forward Kevin Davis has played his way into the Cork senior football team for Sunday’s McGrath Cup clash against Kerry in Mallow, at 2pm.

First-half sub Davis scored six points in Cork’s 2-22 to 1-9 McGrath Cup win against Tipperary last Wednesday night and the Skibb attacker has been rewarded with his first senior start for the Rebels this Sunday.

Manager Peadar Healy has made a few changes to his starting line-up with Ken O’Halloran replacing Ryan Price in goal while Clonakilty’s Tom Clancy comes in at full back and Castlehaven’s Mark Collins replaces Kevin O’Driscoll in the half-forward line.
