Feeney returns for Athenry

Former Galway star Brian Feeney is back in the Athenry side to face Birr for Sunday's All-Ireland club championship semi-final.

It'll be Feeney's first start of the year following an extended holiday and midfielder Brian Hanley loses out with young county star Diarmuid Cloonan moving from centre-back to midfield.

Veteran defender Brian Whelahan is Birr's chief injury concern.

Athenry (SH v Birr): M Crimmins; MJ Quinn, G Keane, J Feeney; B Higgins, B Feeney, P Hardiman; B Kehoe, D Cloonan; J Rabbitte, P Higgins, S Donohue; D Moran, E Cloonan, D Donohue.
