Big changes made as Tipperary U20 hurling team is named ahead of vital Munster clash with Cork

Brendan Cummins has made a total of four changes to the starting team to face Cork in round two of the Dalata Hotel Group Munster U20 Hurling Championship on Wednesday.

Holycross Ballycahill pair Cathal O'Reilly and Jim Ryan come into the defence after not featuring in the round one loss to Limerick, with Joe Egan coming in at midfield while recent Croke Cup winner with Thurles CBS, David Costigan, comes in at wing forward for the crucial encounter in Supervalu Pairc Uí Chaoimh.

Senan Butler and Paddy Phelan drop to the bench while Jack Quinlan and Jack O'Callaghan drop out of the 24 altogether for the game.
