Sean Doyle has named his starting team for his first tie as manager of the Clare U20 hurling team.

They travel to Páirc Uí Rinn on Wednesday to face off in the Munster semi-final, the Rebels coming into the tie off the back of a seven point quarter-final win over Limerick. Gary Cooney of O’Callaghans Mills has been announced as captain with Killian McDermott of Clarecastle the vice-captain.

Doyle is joined on his management team by 1995 All-Ireland winner Jim McInerney and Ger Rodgers of Scariff as selectors. Limerick native Val Murnane and Evan Kilroy who was part of John Carmody’s setup last year are their two coaches.

Corner back Bradley Higgins is a long-term injury (cruciate ligament) with Cian Minouge and Robin Mounsey also ruled out of Wednesday’s tie which throws in at 19:30.

Five of the Clare team were part of the senior panel this year, Diarmuid Ryan, Aidan McCarthy all received some game-time with Ross Hayes and Rian Considine part of the extended panel.

These teams did face off in the 2017 Munster final in which Cork prevailed 4-21 0-16, eight members of the Banner team featured in the seventeen point loss with twelve of the Leesiders named in Denis Ring’s lineup.
