BOTH Clare and Kilkenny have named their starting teams for Saturday’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final.

As per the named team, Aidan McCarthy has regained his place in the first fifteen with Aron Shanagher listed among the substitutes but a more definitive side will not be known until closer to the throw-in.
