GAA teams: Conor Cleary will start for Clare against Limerick in Munster hurling decider

Conor Cleary has been named to start at full-back for Clare in Sunday's Munster SHC final at the TUS Gaelic Grounds.

Cleary was forced off against Cork on 21 May after dislocating his shoulder and there were fears that he would lengthy lay-off. However, he appears to have won his fitness race, with Séadna Morey a possibility to fill in if manager Brian Lohan does opt for a change in advance of the throw-in.

Limerick are unchanged from the side that edge Cork in their final round-robin game a fortnight ago. And so twice Hurler of the Year Cian Lynch is on the bench again, with Cathal O'Neill named at No 11.

Clare: Éibhear Quilligan; Adam Hogan, Conor Cleary, Rory Hayes; Diarmuid Ryan, John Conlon, David McInerney; David Fitzgerald, Cathal Malone; Peter Duggan, Tony Kelly, Aidan McCarthy; Ryan Taylor, Shane O'Donnell, Mark Rodgers.

Subs: Eamonn Foudy, Cian Nolan, Ian Galvin, Shane Meehan, Aron Shanagher, Aaron Fitzgerald, Robin Mounsey, Paul Flanagan, Cian Galvin, Keith Smyth, Séadna Morey.

Limerick: Nickie Quaid; Mike Casey, Dan Morrisey, Barry Nash; Diarmaid Byrnes, Declan Hannon (capt), Kyle Hayes; Darragh O'Donovan, Will O’Donoghue; Gearóid Hegarty, Cathal O’Neill, Tom Morrissey; Aaron Gillane, Séamus Flanagan, Peter Casey.

Subs: David McCarthy, Conor Boylan, Ronan Connolly, Aaron Costello, Colin Coughlan, Adam English, Richie English, Cian Lynch, Graeme Mulcahy, Oisín O'Reilly, David Reidy.

Kilkenny must plan without Adrian Mullen for their Leinster SHC final against Galway at Croke Park. The Ballyhale Shamrocks player sustained a thumb fracture against Wexford. Mikey Carey comes into the team in the half-back line.

Pádraig Walsh and Walter Walsh drop to the bench, with Richie Reid and Paddy Deegan, both returning from
