Picture: Jim Coughlan<\/p>\nCork manager Ray Keane has made two changes to the starting 15 that drew with Clare last week for tomorrow evening\u2019s Dalata Hotel Group Munster U20 Football Championship clash with Kerry at SuperValu P\u00e1irc U\u00ed Chaoimh, with throw-in at 7pm.<\/p>\n
The Rebels were fortunate to escape Quilty with a draw last Thursday, a late Se\u00e1n O\u2019Leary point securing a 1-10 apiece result in the opening round of Phase 2.<\/p>\n
It was, however, Cork\u2019s first competitive outing of the year, while it was Clare\u2019s fourth having come through Phase 1, so the Leesiders will feel they learned plenty from the experience.<\/p>\n
The first change comes in defence, with Harry Wixted coming into the side instead of Matthew Ahern, while in midfield Se\u00e1n Connolly makes way for Trevor Kiely.<\/p>\n

On the bench, Dylan O\u2019Neill and Denis O\u2019Mullane \u2013 two highly promising forwards \u2013 have been added to the matchday panel.<\/p>\n
Cork senior star Dara Sheedy and Danny Miskella were the main scoring contributors against Clare, but Keane and his management team will demand a stronger collective performance if they are to have any chance of taking something against Kerry.<\/p>\n
Kerry \u2013 without senior player Tom\u00e1s Kennedy \u2013 avoided a potential banana skin when they hammered Waterford away from home last Thursday, running out 2-27 to 0-10 winners.<\/p>\n
Gear\u00f3id White, Ronan Carroll and Paddy Lane were particularly effective for Tom\u00e1s \u00d3 S\u00e9\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
Cork\u2019s final game in the group series is another home fixture, with Waterford visiting SuperValu P\u00e1irc U\u00ed Chaoimh next Wednesday at 7pm.<\/p>\n
