Rebels at full strength for under 21 decider
May 01, 2007
Cork report no injury concerns ahead of Saturday's Cadbury's All-Ireland under 21 football final against Laois at Semple Stadium.
Eleven of the side that lost last year's final to Mayo may do so again against the Leinster champions and four of that side - Daniel Goulding, Fintan Goold, Michael Shields and Eoin Cadogan - are also senior panel members.
Cork selector Mick O'Loughlin said: "We do need this All-Ireland. It is 13 years since Cork won the under 21. This is a big thing for Cork football.
"We've won Munster four years on the trot now with the same selectors, coach and most of the same team. They are gaining great experience and I must say the manager, Tony Leahy, has done great work.
"Most of the team played in the All-Ireland final last year and that experience will stand to them. Everything went wrong that day but that's what football is about. If our fellas play well, play to their potential, they have a great chance."
