5 changes for Waterford for tonight's Munster MHC semi final while Clare make one switch

Waterford go in search of three straight wins over Clare in two years.

WATERFORD BOSS DEREK Lyons has made five changes for tonightโ€™s Munster minor hurling semi-final against Clare in Dungarvan.

MJ Sutton and Colm Roche return from injury while Michael Cronin and Jack Mullaney are also introduced to defensive positions while Aaron Oโ€™Sullivan will start at full-forward.

David Prendergast, Shane Murray, Edmond Oโ€™Halloran, Joe Allen and captain Shane Ryan are the players to make way from the Deise side.

Five Waterford players who featured in last yearโ€™s All-Ireland minor final victory have been named in the team โ€“ centre-back Colm Roche, the half-forward line of Shane Bennett, Conor Gleeson and Cormac Curran, and corner-forward Patrick Curran.

Clare have made just the one change to their team with Ben Oโ€™Gorman coming in to start at right half-back in a move that generates a positional reshuffle and sees Liam Oโ€™Donovan make way.

    @Augustus hoop: A bit like Steve Finnan and Glen Whelan before him. Every season they spend a fortune replacing them with an expensive new signing. Every season they return to the old reliable only to repeat the process the following year. How many fullbacks did Pool sign to replace Finnan? Or Stoke midfielders?
