THERE ARE THREE changes to the Cork team that will play Clare in Allianz Hurling League Division 1A at Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday (7.00pm).

Following last weekend’s defeat to Kilkenny, Rebels manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy has drafted in Lorcán McLoughlin, Rob O’Shea and Luke O’Farrell.

McLoughlin comes in at wing-back, with Aidan Walsh switching to midfield and Patrick Cronin dropping to the bench.

O’Shea starts at wing-forward in place of the injured Bill Cooper — a change which sees Seamus Harnedy move in to the centre — and Paudie O’Sullivan is replaced at full-forward by O’Farrell.
