Cork Senior Hurling Manager Denis O’Sullivan has named 3 championship debutants for this Sunday’s Munster opener with Tipperary.
Aisake O’Hailpin has been named at full forward since making a impression on his return from the AFL while Eoin Cadogan and Conor O’Sullivan are given the nod in the full back line.
10 of the side featured in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final while Diarmuid O’Sullivan, Brian Murphy and Joe Deane have since retired.
Sean Og O’Hailpin proved his fitness at the squad’s training camp in Clare last weekend and has shaken off a groin strain to be named at wing back.
The winners of Sunday’s game of course play Clare on June 21st.
The banner lost out of both sides last year in the latter stages of the championship season.

In Galway, the senior hurlers have been boosted by the news that their captain will be available for their Leinster Championship debut.
Ollie Canning’s back injury is deemed bad enough to rule him out of the Laois clash but the tribesmen will be without the services of goalkeeper James Skehill, Iarla Tannian and Mark Kerins.
