BOTH CLARE AND Cork have named their respective starting teams as they go head-to-head at Cusack Park, Ennis on Sunday (throw-in 2pm, TG4).
The Banner side shows two changes from the side that beat Kilkenny in Nowlan Park two weeks ago — Mikey O’Malley comes in for David Fitzgerald at wing back, while Niall Deasy replaces Cathal Malone in the forwards.
Cork manager John Meyler meanwhile has made four changes to his last starting team.
Anthony Nash takes the number one jersey in place of Patrick Collins, and Colm Spillane replaces Conor O’Sullivan in the half-back line.
Luke Meade starts and forms the midfield partnership with Mark Ellis, while Darragh Fitzgibbon and Daniel Kearney make way. Kanturk’s Darren Browne then takes up Ellis’ previous position in defence.
The same six forwards start but there are some positional changes in place.
Clare go into Round Three of the Division 1A National Hurling Leahue on maximum points after beating Tipperary and Kilkenny, while the Rebels will be hoping to build on their opening-round win over the Cats following a loss to Wexford last time out.
