The Cork footballers have made four changes for their Round 2B qualifier against Limerick as they bid to recover from a shock loss to Tipperary.

Noel Galvin comes into the Cork defence while Alan O’Connor partners Ian Maguire in midfield.

Peter Kelleher and Luke Connolly start in the Cork full-forward line.

Those missing out are Sean Kiely, John O’Rourke, Conor Dorman and Brian Hurley.

Meanwhile, the Mayo footballers have made three changes to their team ahead of tomorrow’s qualifier clash with Fermanagh at MacHale Park.

Manager Stephen Rochford has responded to the Connacht championship exit at the hands of Galway by recalling veteran goalkeeper David Clarke in place of Rob Hennelly.

Midfielders Tom Parsons and Jason Gibbons have both been ruled-out through injury so Seamus O’Shea wins a recall and he’ll partner Stephen Coen in the middle as Young Footballer of the Year Diarmuid O’Connor takes the place of Coen in the attack.
