Darragh McCarthy is not in the Tipperary team named to face Cork in Sunday\u2019s Munster SHC opener in FBD Semple Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Toomevara man along with last year\u2019s U20 All-Ireland winning captain Sam O\u2019Farrell are among the substitutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They are the only two changes from the side that began last year\u2019s All-Ireland victory over their provincial neighbours.<\/p>\n

U20 captain Ois\u00edn O\u2019Donoghue is selected in the half-back line alongside captain Ronan Maher and Bryan O\u2019Mara. Up front, Stefan Tobin is set to make his championship debut in the full-forward line.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tony Kelly and Adam Hogan have been announced to start for Clare in Sunday\u2019s clash with Waterford in Ennis.<\/p>\n

Banner captain Kelly and 2024 young hurler of the year Hogan missed the recent Division 1B final win over Dublin but are included, although Shane O\u2019Donnell has been listed as a substitute.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Donnell came off at half-time in Limerick last Sunday week and is one of three omissions from the Dublin fixture. Hogan replaces Conor Leen and Kelly and Se\u00e1n Rynne replace David Fitzgerald and O\u2019Donnell.<\/p>\n

Ten of the 2024 All-Ireland final winning starting side are included. Missing are Leen, John Conlon, David McInerney, Fitzgerald and Aidan McCarthy. Leen, Conlon and Fitzgerald are named on the bench.<\/p>\n

Despite picking up an injury against Dublin, man of the match Mark Rodgers has been named to start.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Galway go with 10 of the side that began the final round Division 1A defeat to Limerick for tomorrow\u2019s Leinster SHC opener against Kilkenny in Salthill.<\/p>\n

Four players are set to make their senior championship debuts \u2013 Cillian Trayers, Cian Daniels, Aaron Niland and Jason Rabbitte.<\/p>\n

The Cork team named on Thursday evening to face Tipperary in Thurles<\/a> on Sunday features 12 of the side that began last July\u2019s All-Ireland final.<\/p>\n

As expected, U20 starlet Barry Walsh is included in the team as is Se\u00e1n O\u2019Donoghue despite the hamstring injury he sustained in the Division 1A final defeat to Limerick<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Mark Coleman is restored to the starting 15, replacing Miche\u00e1l Mullins who is not in the squad. Also missing are Declan Dalton and Shane Kingston.<\/p>\n

Seamus Harnedy is the other absentee from the team that commenced the Division 1A decider but the St Ita\u2019s veteran is in the 26.<\/p>\n

Diarmuid Healy has recovered from the quad injury that threatened to rule him out of the opening games of the provincial championship.<\/p>\n

Of the 2025 All-Ireland final<\/a> team, Dalton, Healy and the retired Patrick Horgan are the changes. Walsh and William Buckley are set to make their senior championship debuts.<\/p>\n
