BRIAN LOHAN HAS been forced into two changes as Clare head for Cork in search of a Munster final berth on Sunday (SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, 4pm).
Free-taker Mark Rodgers and Ryan Taylor were taken off with injuries during the Banner’s 11-point victory over Tipperary and they miss out this weekend.
David Fitzgerald and Ian Galvin come into the Clare attack, while there’s a midfield reshuffle.
Fitzgerald, a two-time All-Star, makes his first championship start of 2026 at wing-forward.
For Galvin, who nabbed 1-2 as an early replacement for Rodgers, it’s a first championship start since the 2023 All-Ireland quarter-final.
Tony Kelly sustained an ankle knock against Tipp, but starts at midfield alongside Seán Rynne. Man of the match in Thurles, Diarmuid Stritch, is named at centre-forward, while Keith Smyth and Jack Kirwan are added to the substitutes.
Meanwhile, Liam Cahill had settled for a mix of experience along with a full debutant for already-eliminated Tipperary’s final-round encounter with Limerick on Sunday (TUS Gaelic Grounds, 4pm).
Noel McGrath comes in to start at wing-forward and Séamus Kennedy at wing-back in a team which also features Upperchurch-Drombane defender Keith Ryan gaining his first start at corner-back.

Conor Stakelum is restored to midfield, while Stefan Tobin is included at corner-forward.
Willie Connors, Andrew Ormond, and Jason Forde don’t feature on the matchday panel. Michael Breen and Craig Morgan are named on the bench alongside new additions Joe Caesar, Paddy McCormack, and Gearóid O’Connor.
John Kiely has selected an unchanged Limerick team, which means that captain Cian Lynch is set to continue on the bench.

Micheál Donoghue makes three changes as Joshua Ryan, Darragh Neary, and Evan Niland are called upon, while John Fleming switches to the bench.

Kildare have made one change from the side that were hammered by Kilkenny last weekend, as Cian Boran replaces Paul Dolan for Sunday’s clash with Offaly at Cedral St Conleth’s Park, 2pm.
Boran was the first player subbed on and Dolan was the first man withdrawn in their 23-point defeat at Nowlan Park. With Kildare’s relegation to the Joe McDonagh Cup already confirmed, this contest is a chance for the Lilywhites to score a moral victory.
