THERE ARE THREE changes on the Tipperary team to play Clare in Wednesday’s Electric Ireland Munster minor hurling semi-final in Thurles.

Garry Ryan, Tommy Nolan and Lyndon Fairbrother have been drafted into the starting line-up as Ross Peters, Shane Neville and Ruadhan Mulrooney, goalscorer against Waterford in April, lose out.

There are some positional switches too, most notable among them Alan Tynan’s move from full-forward to midfield, with Liam McCutcheon making the move from the centre of the field to wing-forward.

Tynan won a Leinster senior schools rugby cup title with Cistercian College, Roscrea, earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Fairbrother gets his chance up front after scoring two points from play when introduced against the Déise.

Throw-in on Wednesday evening is at 7.30 as Tipp, who finished with 12 players in Ennis last year, aim for revenge.
