No sign of Podge but Sean Collins to start for Clare footballers

Clare’s opponents Waterford have named an unchanged team.

Updated 11.55am

SEAN COLLINS HAS been released for the Clare football team’s Munster quarter final replay on Saturday.

Sean’s brother Podge though has not been selected by his father Colm Collins, as he’s likely to start on Davy Fitzgerald’s hurling team against Cork on Sunday.

Both brothers missed out on the Division 4 football league final loss to Tipperary in April as they were away with the hurling panel in a training camp in Portugal. Last weekend the pair were surprise selections for the drawn game with Waterford, just a week before the Munster hurling semi final.

Colm Collins has made two changes overall from the draw with Waterford last Saturday.
Podge Collins and Jamie Malone are replaced by half forward Barry Hartnett, brother of full-back Kevin, and full-forward Shane Brennan, brother of midfielder and captain Gary.

Additonal positional changes see Shane McGrath move to midfield and David Tubridy, who bagged 1-3 last weekend, move to corner forward. Waterford have named an unchanged team from last Saturday’s draw.
