Cork recall Keane for U-21 semi

Cathrach Keane has been recalled to the Cork team for Sunday's All-Ireland U-21 football semi-final against Ulster champions Armagh in Portlaoise (throw-in 3pm).

Cathrach Keane has been recalled to the Cork team for Sunday's All-Ireland U-21 football semi-final against Ulster champions Armagh in Portlaoise (throw-in 3pm).

Keane, who hails from the Newcestown club, returns in a reshuffled attacking unit. He lost his place at centre forward for the Munster final win against Tipperary earlier this month.

But now manager Tony Leahy has opted to drop Sean Cahalane in favour of Keane, the former St. Brogan's College captain.

Keane will lead the Rebels' attack, with Roy Leahy switching to left corner forward. Valley Rovers clubman Fiacre Lynch holds onto his position at right half-forward, having replaced Shane McCarthy last time out.

Eire Óg star Daniel Goodling will hope to spearhead Cork's drive towards the final, which will be held over the first weekend of May.

The talented full-forward scored 2-22 in Cork's three-game Munster championship campaign.

CORK (U-21FC v Armagh) - K O'Halloran; R Carey, M Shields, G S Si; S O'Donoghue, D Limrick, E Cadogan; A O'Sullivan (capt), F Goold; F Lynch, C Keane, P Kerrigan; C O'Neill, D Goulding, R Leahy.
