Five changes for Clare
Clare manager Davy Fitzgerald has made a series of changes to his side ahead of tonight's All-Ireland SHC second phase qualifier against Dublin.
There are Championship debuts for midfielder Seadna Morey and wing forward Tony Kelly, while Sean Collins, Fergal Lynch and Darach Honan have also been brought into the starting line-up.
In total, there are five changes to the team that started the recent Munster semi-final defeat to Waterford.
Teenager Kelly, who recently completed his Leaving Cert exams, makes the step-up to this level after captaining the Clare minors to provincial glory last year.
Collins missed the Waterford game with a hamstring injury but returns this weekend to partner Sixmilebridge youngster Morey at centre-field.
The five players to make way are James McInerney, Patrick O'Connor, Paudge Collins, Colin Ryan and the injured Enda Barrett, who failed a fitness test on his hamstring,
The Ennis clash (throw-in 7pm) represents the fifth occasion that Clare have met Dublin in the All-Ireland qualifiers. Although the Banner men lost 2-22 to 0-15 in the 2010 meeting, they held the upper hand before that - winning by 4-21 to 1-16 in 2006, 1-23 to 0-9 in 2005 and 2-22 to 1-8 in 2002.
