STARTING TEAMS for Sunday’s Munster SHC final have been named.

Brian Lohan and John Kiely have announced their first fifteen for the first senior provincial meeting between the sides since 1995. Wicklow’s John Keenan will referee the game which throws in at 4pm.

From their drawn encounter on May 15th, there are two changes to the Clare team with David Reidy and Ian Galvin back in the first fifteen at the expense of Jason McCarthy and Robin Mounsey. On the Limerick front, there are three alterations with Darragh O’Donovan, Cathal O’Neill and Aaron Gillane entering the fray for Robbie Hanley, David Reidy and Conor Boylan.

Clare held their final training session on Friday evening. Positional switches will be made to the named fifteen with a change in personnel also possible. On the Limerick side, Kyle Hayes is tipped to move to the half-forward line.

Following the sale of the last remaining tickets on Friday morning, Munster GAA have confirmed that FBD Semple Stadium will have a sold out capacity of 45,000.
