Clare and Waterford unveil starting sides for tomorrow's All-Ireland quarter-final

LAST UPDATE | 20 Nov 2020

WATERFORD HURLING MANAGER Liam Cahill has made just one change to his Déise side ahead of tomorrow’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final.

Ballygunner star Ian Kenny has been handed his first senior championship start, as he replaces the injured Shane Fives.

Kenny, who has been very prominent at club level the last few years, came on as a substitute against Limerick in last weekend’s Munster final, but he’ll line out at corner back from throw-in tomorrow.

With Tourin man Fives out injured, having pulled up mid-sprint in the 60th minute last time out, Peter Hogan is the addition on the bench.

Meanwhile, Clare Boss Brian Lohan has named the same team that defeated Wexford for tomorrow’s All-Ireland quarter-final.

There were three late changes made to the Banner side before last Saturday’s game as Patrick O’Connor, Jason McCarthy and David Fitzgerald all came in, they’ve all been included in the starting fifteen announced today.

Clare will be seeking to build on wins over Laois and Wexford while hoping to reach the All-Ireland semi-final stage for the first time since 2018.

Throw-in for tomorrow’s game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh is 3.45pm with live TV coverage on Sky Sports Mix.
