LAST UPDATE | 24 Oct 2020

LIMERICK HAVE SHAKEN up their full-back line and Clare have handed out a couple of senior championship debuts before tomorrow’s Munster hurling oepner.

John Kiely has retained 13 of the side that started against Kilkenny in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final loss to Kilkenny.

The two players to lose out are injured full-back line duo Mike Casey and Richie English, with Barry Nash and Paddy O’Loughlin introduced to the side.

O’Loughlin takes up the wing-back position as Dan Morrissey moves to the edge of the square. Nash, traditionally a forward before making a switch to wing-back under Kiely, is named to start in the corner.

Clare have handed out first senior starts in championship to goalkeeper Eibhear Quilligan and corner-back Stephen O’Halloran. David Reidy returns to championship action after opting out in 2019 while Aron Shanagher and Aaron Cunningham are amongst the substitutes.

Manager Brian Lohan is without some big names like John Conlon and Colm Galvin for a game that throws in at 3.45pm tomorrow.

Best of luck to Manager Brian Lohan and his squad who face Limerick in a unique Munster Championship/Allianz League Final derby double in Semple Stadium in Thurles tomorrow at 3.45pm 💪
