CLARE HAVE NAMED an unchanged team for tomorrow’s Division 1A hurling league tie against Dublin in Parnell Park.
Davy Fitzgerald has stuck with the side that got the better of Kilkenny last Sunday in Cusack Park in Ennis.
There is 12 of last year’s All-Ireland winning team with goalkeeper Donal Tuohy, corner-back Seadna Morey and midfielder Shane Golden the new faces.
Opponents Dublin have made four changes in personnel for the game after their convincing defeat to Galway in Salthill last Sunday.
Niall Corcoran and Shane Durkin come into the defence replacing Cian O’Callaghan and Stephen Hiney.
At midfield Colm Cronin will partner Johnny McCaffrey with Ryan O’Dwyer resuming duties at centre half-forward in place of David Treacy.
Alan McCrabbe will play at full-forward replacing Paul Ryan, who had been an injury concern prior to the game in Salthill.
McCrabbe came on as a sub last Sunday but will be making his first starting appearance since in over a year after missing out in 2013 after opting off the squad owing to work commitments.
