Clare have named the same team that defeated Waterford, in their selection for Sunday’s game.
The Banner ran out 2-33 to 4-21 victors over Waterford in their opener in Ennis, and return to the Cusack Park venue on Sunday for their second game in the round-robin series.
Shane O’Donnell, drafted in before throw-in for that game, is named in the full-forward line alongside Mark Rodgers and Peter Duggan.
Experienced defender David McInerney is named amongst the subs, having not been part of the squad for the Waterford game after recent injury difficulties, while John Conlon is also selected on the bench.
