John Kiely has made two changes to the side that lost to Cork for Sunday’s Munster SHC Round 3 clash with Clare in Ennis.

Suspended Cian Lynch is replaced by Darragh O’Donovan while Tom Morrissey comes in for David Reidy in the forward line.

Reidy is named on the bench. Vice-captain William O’Donoghue will lead the team in Lynch’s absence in Zimmer-Biomet Páirc Chíosóg. Effin’s Paddy O’Donovan comes into the squad.

Clare have announced the same team that began last Sunday week’s win over Waterford to face Limerick.

Veteran defender David McInerney makes a welcome return to the panel. David Fitzgerald and Ronan Kilroy are not in the 26 and Daithí Lohan is the other addition to the bench.

Meanwhile, Greg McCabe has been included in the Armagh team for their Ulster SFC semi-final with Down in Clones on Sunday. Daniel Magee makes way and is among the substitutes.
