4 changes for Tipperary and 2 for Clare ahead of Munster semi-final clash

The counties minor football teams meet tomorrow night in Thurles.

TIPPERARY AND CLARE have both rung the changes ahead of tomorrow night’s Electric Ireland Munster minor football semi-final.

Tipperary make four changes from the side that defeated Waterford in last month’s quarter-final tie.

Jack Skehan comes into the half-back line while there is a new full-forward line in Brendan Martin, Brian McGrath and Ross Peters. Brian McGrath is a younger brother of Tipperary senior hurlers Noel and John.

Tadhg Fitzgerald, Liam Fahy, Aidan Buckley and Conor Cashman are the Tipperary players to make way.

Clare make two changes with Sean O’Donoghue and Paraic McNamara having failed to recover from the injuries sustained in the playoff win over Limerick.

Their places in the team go to Cathal Downes and Cormac Murray.

Throw-in tomorrow night at Semple Stadium is 7.30pm.
