Cork football boss Ronan McCarthy has named an experimental side for Sunday’s McGrath Cup clash against Limerick in Rathkeale.

McCarthy’s line-up consists of just eight of the side which started for the Rebels when they exited the All-Ireland SFC qualifiers at the hands of Tyrone last summer.

Ian Maguire captains the team from centre-field alongside Cillian O’Hanlon while James Loughrey and Kevin Flahive are named at full-back and centre-back respectively.

In attack, Sean White of Clonakilty will pull the strings for the Leesiders at centre-forward with Bantry’s Ruairi Deane to lead the line from full-forward.

Throw-in at Mick Neville Park is at 2pm.

Cork (McGrath Cup v Limerick): Mark White; Kevin O’Donovan, James Loughrey, Conor Dennehy; Kevin Crowley, Kevin Flahive, Paul Walsh; Ian Maguire, Cillian O’Hanlon; Tom Clancy, Sean White, Mattie Taylor; Damien Gore, Ruairi Deane, Brian Hurley

Subs: Chris Kelly, Peter Murphy, Aidan Browne, Liam O’Donovan, Tadhg Corkery, James Fitzpatrick, Ronan O’Toole, Eoghan McSweeney, Mark Collins, Peter Kelleher, Chris Og Jones
