BRIAN LOHAN HAS made two changes to his Clare side for Sunday’s Munster hurling decider, while Limerick have entrusted Shane O’Brien with a first championship start at Semple Stadium, Thurles.

For The Banner, Rory Hayes and David McInerney swap in for Conor Leen and Cian Galvin in the full-back line and half-back line respectively, while Tony Kelly has currently been named on the bench for Sunday’s encounter with the All-Ireland champions.

John Kiely has selected Kilmallock man Shane O’Brien to replace the injured Séamus Flanagan, while Darragh O’Donovan and Richie English feature in a Limerick matchday panel for the first time in this year’s championship.
