Cork manager Ben O’Connor has made two injury-enforced changes to his side for tomorrow evening’s Munster senior hurling championship third round clash against Waterford.

Damien Cahalane comes in at full-back from the win over Limerick while Diarmuid Healy is named to start at right half-forward for the Leesiders.

Cork’s regular No 3 Ciarán Joyce is ruled out with a cruciate ligament injury and an ankle ligament injury also sees Robert Downey sidelined.

Positional switches for the holders see captain Fitzgibbon moving to centre-field and Tommy O’Connell moving to right half-back.

Shane Kingston, Seamus Harnedy and Alan Walsh are all named on the Rebels’ bench.

Throw-in at Azzurri Walsh Park is at 6pm and the game will be shown live on GAA+.

The Cork Senior Hurling team to play Waterford in Round 3 of the Munster Senior Hurling Championship has been announced.
