CORK HAVE THIS evening named their starting team for Wednesday’s Bord Gáis Energy Munster U20 hurling championship semi-final clash against Clare at Páirc Uí Rinn.

Manager Denis Ring has made two changes to his side for the last four showdown, with Ger Millerick and Sean Twomey drafted into the starting XV from last week’s quarter-final victory over Limerick. 

Millerick is one of three players in the team to have sampled senior inter-county hurling action this summer, along with half-back Robert Downey and goalkeeper Ger Collins.

The Rebels proved too strong for Limerick last time out, with Shane O’Regan hitting 1-6, and they will bid to take the next step and book a place in this year’s Munster decider on 23 July.

Earlier, Clare unveiled their team for the semi-final tussle, which gets underway at 7.30pm.
