Ryan Price earns a start in goal, while Ian Maguire retains a role in the Rebels’ midfield.
2017 sensation Sean Powter, who netted against the All-Ireland finalists during Cork’s one-point defeat, moves up to the half-forward line alongside the returning Mark Collins.
John O’Rourke has been pushed up to corner-forward.
Throw-in at The Gold Coast Resort, Ballinacourty, Dungarvan is at 2pm.
16. Mark White (Clonakilty)
17. Sean Wilson (Douglas)

23. Daniel O Callaghan (Clyda Rovers)
24. Cian Dorgan (Ballincollig)
25. Michael Hurley (Castlehaven)
26. Stephen Sherlock (St Finbarrs)
John Meyler, meanwhile, has made seven changes to the side which lost Cork’s Munster Senior League opener to Limerick last weekend.
Anthony Nash, Conor O’Sullivan, Rickard Cahalane, Darragh Fitzgibbon, Luke Meade, Evan Sheehan and Shane Kingston all enter the fray for the All-Ireland semi-finalists for their Cusack Park clash with Clare, with throw-in also at 2pm.
