O'Sullivan slots into Cork line-up

Cork's footballers will show one change for Saturday's Bank of Ireland SFC fourth round qualifier against Sligo in Portlaoise.

Cork's footballers will show one change for Saturday's Bank of Ireland SFC fourth round qualifier against Sligo in Portlaoise.

Adrigole marksman Brendan Jer O'Sullivan returns at full-forward for the sides' first ever championship clash. His inclusion sees youngster Fintan Goold switch over to left corner-forward with Martin O'Croinin the player to make way.

Manager Billy Morgan will be expecting his forward lines to fire the Rebels into next month's quarter-finals.

A disappointing performance from the red-shirted sextet in the Munster final loss to Kerry saw only James Masters and John Hayes emerge with credit as they shared out five points.

O'Sullivan, a substitute the last day, was part of the last Cork team to qualify for the All-Ireland quarter-finals, back in 2002.

CORK (SFC v Sligo): K O'Dwyer; G Murphy, G Canty, N Geary; N O'Leary, A Lynch, O Sexton; N Murphy, D Kavanagh; J Masters, C McCarthy, K McMahon; J Hayes, B O'Sullivan, F Goold.
