THERE are two changes to the Limerick minor hurling team to play Clare in the final round group game in the Munster Championship.

Sunday's curtain-raiser in Cusack Park in Ennis - 12noon - is just as finely balanced as the senior tie between Limerick and Clare.

Victory for Limerick will book a Munster final spot on July 1.

Limerick beat Tipperary and Cork in their opening minor games but then lost to Waterford last Sunday. 

Limerick manager Antoin Power and his backroom team of coaches/selectors; Alan Browne, John Meskell, Paul Dowling, Sean Og Herbert and strength and conditioning coach Darragh Droog have brought two fresh faces into their starting team.

Danny O'Leary and Cian Casey both start - both in the forwards.
