Kilkenny, Clare, Cork and Galway name sides for weekend hurling league ties

Dublin and Offaly have also made team announcements.

KILKENNY HAVE NAMED TJ Reid and Paddy Deegan in the half-forward line for Sunday’s Division 1 hurling league trip to Ennis to face Clare.

Reid and Deegan are selected in an attack that also features Adrian Mullen and Eoin Cody. Kilkenny have shaken up their starting side from the win over Offaly last time out with goalkeeper Eoin Murphy and defender Huw Lawlor some of the other key figures that have returned.

Eamonn Fuody is named to start in goal for Clare, while notable defensive additions are Paul Flanagan, Conor Cleary and Diarmuid Ryan. The attacking trio of David Reidy, Peter Duggan and Mark Rodgers are all handed starting spots as well.

Cork’s team announcement for their trip to Tullamore to play Offaly sees Niall O’Leary and the Downey brothers, Eoin and Rob, all starting in defence, in the changes from the win over Waterford last time out.

Luke Meade comes in at midfield, while the inclusions in attack are Declan Dalton, back after injury, and Blackrock’s Alan Connolly. Darragh Fitzgibbon and Tim O’Mahony are notable inclusions on the bench.

Offaly have named Oisin Kelly  in their full-forward line to start alongside Eoghan Cahill and Adam Screeney, for the game at Glenisk O’Connor Park.
