WATERFORD BOSS DEREK Lyons has made five changes for tonight’s Munster minor hurling semi-final against Clare in Dungarvan.
MJ Sutton and Colm Roche return from injury while Michael Cronin and Jack Mullaney are also introduced to defensive positions while Aaron O’Sullivan will start at full-forward.
David Prendergast, Shane Murray, Edmond O’Halloran, Joe Allen and captain Shane Ryan are the players to make way from the Deise side.
Five Waterford players who featured in last year’s All-Ireland minor final victory have been named in the team – centre-back Colm Roche, the half-forward line of Shane Bennett, Conor Gleeson and Cormac Curran, and corner-forward Patrick Curran.
Clare have made just the one change to their team with Ben O’Gorman coming in to start at right half-back in a move that generates a positional reshuffle and sees Liam O’Donovan make way.
