SEADNA MOREY and Ian Galvin start on the Clare senior hurling team in place of Cian Nolan and the injured Aidan McCarthy for Saturday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final.
Injury keeps Conor Cleary out of the Clare squad while Aidan McCarthy misses the quarter-final meaning a new freetaker will be taking responsibility for the placed balls on Saturday in the Gaelic Grounds.
Ian Galvin who hit 0-02 in a brief spell during the Munster Final defeat to Limerick benefits from McCarthy’s injury and the Clonlara man is named at corner forward alongside Shane O’Donnell and Mark Rodgers.
Morey comes into the team in the full-back line and is expected to hold a role on the edge of the square with Adam Hogan and Rory Hayes also in the full-back line. The half-back line of Diarmuid Ryan, John Conlon and David McInerney is unchanged with Eibhear Quilligan between the posts.
Tony Kelly captains the side from centre forward with Clooney/Quin duo Peter Duggan and Ryan Taylor included in the middle third along with Cathal Malone and David Fitzgerald.
There are changes to Clare’s substitutes, Cleary, McCarthy, Robin Mounsey, Keith Smyth and Aaron Fitzgerald make way in the 26 with David Reidy, Darragh Lohan, Patrick Crotty, Paddy Donnellan and David Conroy included.
