KILKENNY HAVE MADE five changes ahead of Sunday’s Allianz League semi-final against Clare.
Jackie Tyrrell and Joey Holden come in for the injured Paul Murphy and Robert Lennon in defence, while Padraig Walsh’s inclusion at half-back means Cillian Buckley can take his place in midfield instead of Michael Fennelly.

In addition, Conor Delaney, Michael Rice, Joe Lyng and Alan Murphy have all come in to the match-day squad.
