Chance formanager tolook intoCrystal ball
JIMMY BARRY-MURPHY willbe keeping as close an eye onsome of the opposition playersas well as his own when Corktake on UCC in the WaterfordCrystal Cup at the Mardyke to-morrow, 12pm.
A number of players who are cur-rently in training with Cork will be lin-ing out in the UCC colours, goalkeeper
Darren McCarthy, Killian Murphy,Seamus Harnedy, Brian Murray andBud Hartnett as well as William Eganand Conor Lehane so it will be verymuch a case of trying to kill two birdswith the one stone tomorrow.
SOCCER
McCarthy, Murphy,Harnedy, Murray andHartnett have alreadyfeatured for Cork but to-morrow they’ll be in theopposition corner.UCC will field a strong
unit with Waterford’sBrian O’Sullivan also ex-pected to feature.However, star ThurlesSarsfields player, Steph-en Maher is unavailablebecause of All Irelandclub semi-final commit-ments but Castlemartyrbrothers, Brian andBarry Lawton could playa part.Midleton’s Paul Haugh-
ney is another playerwho will be hoping tomake a strong impres-sion in front of goal.The Cork starting 15 is
a decent mix of experi-ence and players that theselectors hope will putdown a marker.Eight of the team that
featured against Galway
in last season’s All Ire-land semi-final arenamed and there’s a re-turn to the competitivearena for MichaelCussen, who is named atfull-forward.Brian Corry gets an-
other opportunity tomake a statement in thehalf-forward line as doesStephen Moylan acrossfrom him.Back in defence there
is a starting slot foryoung Castlelyons playerColm Spillane at leftcorner-back while ChrisJoyce gets an opportun-ity in the pivotalcentre-back position.Stephen White from
Ballygarvan can put for-ward his case too at leftwing-back while therewill be focus too on themidfield pair of DannyKearney and PatrickCronin.● See inside for matchpreview
