Shane O'Donnell named on Clare bench for Tipperary clash as Tony Kelly returns
SHANE O'DONNELL HAS been named among the Clare substitutes for their crucial Munster SHC clash with Tipperary on Saturday.
O'Donnell was initially ruled out for the season due to a shoulder injury which required surgery. But the Hurler of the Year gave Clare fans a huge boost recently by revealing that he intended to play some part in their championship campaign.
His inclusion this weekend marks his first involvement in a matchday squad since last year's All-Ireland final.
Meanwhile, Tony Kelly returns to the starting line-up after missing Clare's defeat to Waterford due to illness. He slots into the half-forward line alongside Mark Rogers and Shane Meehan.
Aidan McCarthy has not been named in the matchday squad while David Fitzgerald drops to the bench.
The Clare team to play Tipperary in Round 3 of the Munster SHC on Saturday evening has been named .
