The Clare team to face Tipperary in the Quarter Final of the Waterford Crystal Cup includes 7 of the side that saw action in last years U21 All Ireland Final over Wexford.
It also sees the return of 2013 hero Domhnall O'Donovan at corner back, while vice captain Patrick Donnellan lines out at wing forward. The other vice captain, Crusheen's Cian Dillon, doesn't start.
Brendan Bugler lines out at midfield, partnering Colm Galvin.
The team in full is
1. Patrick Kelly
2. Domhnall O'Donovan
3. Cillian Duggan
4. Seadna Morey
5. Gearoid O'Connell
6. Conor Ryan
7. Conor Cleary
8. Brendan Bugler
9. Colm Galvin
10. Patrick Donnellan
11. Bobby Duggan
12. Shane Golden
13. Cathal O'Connell
14. Aaron Cunningham
15. Davy O'Halloran
That means there's no place for the likes of Colin Ryan, Conor McGrath and Shane O'Donnell on the starting 15, and selector Michael Browne says while selecting a starting 15 is a difficult task, it's a welcome problem.
Throw in is at 2pm in Sixmilebridge, live updates here on Clare FM with Tom Sheehan.
