Two changes on Cork team for football clash against Kildare

Lack of form: Brian Hurley

BRIAN Hurley has been dropped to the bench for Cork’s All-Ireland SFC round four qualifier against Kildare in Thurles on Saturday evening.

The Castlehaven forward has struggled for form of late and failed to score in the two recent Munster final games against Kerry.

Paddy Kelly (injured) is out of Saturday night’s game and in comes both Eoin Cadogan, who missed the replay loss to Kerry, and Colm O’Driscoll. Cadogan has been named in midfield alongside Alan O'Connor, with Kevin O'Driscoll pushed forward to the half forward line.
