GAA:Galway manager John McIntyre has made five changes from the side that lost the Leinster SHC semi-final to Dublin ahead of Saturday's crunch qualifier against Clare.
Galway were unable to break down Dublin’s defence and therefore struggled in front of goal. For that reason McIntrye has made three changes up front with Ger Farragher, Iarla Tannian and Alan Kerins coming into the side to replace Cyril Donnellan, Eanna Ryan and Aonghus Callinan.
Elsewhere Donal Barry comes in at wing back in place of Damien Joyce, while Andy Smith will take his place in midfield as Barry Daly drops to the bench.
Galway (SH v Clare):James Skehill, Fergal Moore, Shane Kavanagh, David Collins, Donal Barry, Tony Og Regan, Adrian Cullinane, David Burke, Andy Smith, Joe Gantley, Ger Farragher, Iarla Tannian, Damien Hayes, Joe Canning, Alan Kerins.
