CLARE SENIOR BOSS Davy Fitzgerald’s son and Clare senior attacker Aaron Cunningham’s brother will form a midfield partnership for the county minor hurling team this week.
Colm Fitzgerald and Jack Cunningham will link up in the team named for Thursday’s Electric Ireland Munster MHC semi-final against Tipperary in Semple Stadium at 7.30pm.
There are four survivors from the team that lost out narrowly to Waterford in last year’s Munster minor hurling semi-final by 2-13 to 2-12.
Goalkeeper Jason Loughnane and the half-forward line of Aaron Shanagher, Mike O’Shea and Jason McCarthy all started in that loss to the Deise.
