Clare team named for senior hurling semi-final clash with Kilkenny at Croke Park

Clare boss Brian Lohan has named his starting 15 for tomorrow afternoon's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Semi-Final at Croke Park.

The Banner have made one change from their All-Ireland Quarter-Final success over Wexford with Aidan McCarthy deputising for Aron Shanagher in the full forward line.

Kilkenny on the other hand have gone with same team that defeated Dublin last month with John Donnelly and Mikey Carey both appearing fit to start.
