Tipp and Clare both show their hand as Sheedy prepares for first league game in charge
THE TIPPERARY AND Clare hurlers have named their sides for their first-round league clash at Semple Stadium on Saturday [throw-in, 7pm].
Liam Sheedy has unveiled an experienced outfit for his first league game in charge since returning to the helm with the Premier County.
Newly appointed captain Seamus Callan will lead an impressive Tipperary attack, with Jason Forde, Noel McGrath and Patrick Maher also selected to start.
Experienced defenders Padraic Maher, Cathal Barrett and Donagh Maher will make-up the full-back line while Ronan Maher is named to slot in at centre-back.
Meanwhile, joint managers Donal Moloney and Gerry O’Connor have also selected a number of seasoned players to kick-off Clare’s league campaign.
John Conlon will provide a huge scoring threat for the Banner at full-forward while Tony Kelly has been named to start at midfield and will captain the side.
David McInerney and Conor Cleary will command Clare’s defence from full-back and centre-back respectively.
Star forwards Podge Collins and Peter Duggan are among the substitutes.
