CLARE’S senior football side shows no changes for their home tie with Antrim in the Allianz National Football League.

Cusack Park hosts the sixth round tie which commences at 3:30pm with a win needed to keep Clare’s chances of progression alive.

Mark Fitzgerald has kept faith with the same fifteen that overcame Limerick a fortnight ago.

There is a big plus with the return of Cillian Rouine and Darragh Bohannon from injury and they are included among the substitutes. Rouine has struggled with a hamstring issue which limited his involvement in the second round against Westmeath while it is the first time of this year’s league that Bohannon is part of the panel.

Joe McGann retains his starting jersey to get a consecutive appearance in the first fifteen. He is joined in the full-forward line by Aaron Griffin and Cormac Murray.

Kilrush’s Stephen Ryan continues as captain between the posts with an unchanged defence and midfield pairing up the field.
