Clare and Westmeath have both announced their starting teams for Saturday’s All-Ireland SFC Round Three Qualifier.

Colm Collins has stuck with the same lineup which overcame Leitrim by nine points last weekend. Having slotted into the side in place of the injured Kevin Harnett, Dean Ryan continues at corner-back in a line which also contains Cillian Brennan and Gordon Kelly.

Kilrush Shamrocks’ Stephen Ryan is to make his fourth appearance between the posts in his debut championship season.

Westmeath manager Jack Cooney makes two changes, Jack Smith and Joe Halligan are omitted from the team in place of Sam Duncan and John Heslin.

Throw-in for the game is at 6pm in TEG Cusack Park, Mullingar.
