6 changes for Galway hurling side to face Clare

The Tribesmen are in action in Thurles tomorrow.

GALWAY BOSS ANTHONY Cunningham has radically changed his team for tomorrow’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Clare as they bid to recover from their Leinster final loss to Dublin.

There are six new faces drafted in to the Galway side for the meeting with the Banner in Semple Stadium at 4pm.

Goalkeeper James Skehill, midfielder Iarla Tannian and wing-forward Cyril Donnellan are some of the high-profile casualties in the Tribesmen line-up.

Colm Callanan comes into the team in goal, newcomer Jason Grealish starts at wing-back while there is a new midfield partnership in Aidan Harte and Andy Smith.

In attack Jonathan Glynn and Damien Hayes get the nod to start at wing-forward and corner-forward respectively.  The other players to lose out are Joseph Cooney, James Regan and David Glennon.

Smith, Hayes, Harte and Glynn were all introduced as substitutes during that Leinster final with Dublin ultimately triumphing by 2-25 to 2-13.

GALWAY: Colm Callanan (Kinvara); Kevin Hynes (Sarsfields), Fergal Moore (Turloughmore), Johnny Coen (Loughrea); Shane Kavanagh (Kinvara), David Collins (Liam Mellowes), Jason Grealish (Gort); Aidan Harte (Gort), Andy Smith (Portumna); David Burke (St Thomas), Conor Cooney (St Thomas), Jonathan Glynn (Ardrahan); Damien Hayes (Portumna), Joe Canning (Portuman), Niall Burke (Oranmore-Maree).
