Team news: Cork and Monaghan reveal selections ahead of Mallow clash

CORK will have a big say in this year’s Lidl National League Division 1 campaign, if the evidence from last Sunday’s comprehensive victory over Kerry is anything to go by.

The visit of Monaghan renews a rivalry that saw the counties meet in the 2012 Division 1 final, as well as All-Ireland deciders in 2008, 2011 and 2013.

Both counties have moved on considerably since then, with transition very much the name of the game.

With home advantage, Cork will fancy their chances, as Monaghan look to bounce back from defeat to Galway.
