ONE CHANGE has been made to the Clare senior football team for their fourth round clash in the Allianz National Football League.
Colm Collins’ men welcome Derry to Cusack Park this Sunday with the Cratloe man making one switch to the starting fifteen from that which drew with Roscommon last weekend. David Tubridy is named at corner forward in announced team in place of Podge Collins who was one of the county’s top performers in the draw.
This is the only change to the starting fifteen with sub goalkeeper Tom O’Brien given the number sixteen jersey as the rotation with Tristan O’Callaghan continues.
In their three games to date, Clare are unbeaten having earned draws with Cork and Roscommon subsequent to their round one victory against Offaly.
Sunday’s opponents Derry are also unbeaten but have three wins from as many outings and currently sit at top spot in Division 2 and on course for promotion to the top tier if they can keep this momentum going.
