Clare name unchanged side for quarter-final
Midfielder Jonathan Clancy and corner forward Tony Griffin have recovered from injury to be included in the Clare team for Sunday's All-Ireland SHC quarter-final against Wexford at Croke Park (throw-in 2.15pm).
Clare manager Anthony Daly was afforded the chance to name an unchanged side for this weekend's tie, after both players trained with the panel last night.
Cratloe prospect Clancy aggravated a hamstring injury during Clare's Munster U21 semi-final defeat to Tipperary last week, but is fit enough to resume at midfield alongside Colin Lynch.
Ballyea sharpshooter Griffin, who has got the better of a groin strain, was one of Clare's best forwards during their unbeaten run through the qualifiers. He scored 1-10 in three games, including 1-05 against Limerick.
Clare met the Model men at this stage in last year's championship and ran out comfortable 1-20 to 0-12 winners - that was only the second ever SHC meeting between the counties.
The Banner men also won the sides' 2002 qualifier clash, although Wexford were on top in this year's League. Rory Jacob shot 1-08 to help the Models to a 2-13 to 0-11 victory at Wexford Park in February.
CLARE (SHC v Wexford) - D Fitzgerald; G O’Grady, B Lohan, F Lohan; B O’Connell, S McMahon (Capt.), G Quinn; J Clancy, C Lynch; D McMahon, T Carmody, N Gilligan; D Quinn, A Markham, T Griffin.
