Former Dublin star Pat Burke is one of two Clare championship debutants for Saturday's Munster SFC quarter-final against Limerick.

The experienced Kilmacud Crokes forward qualifies to play for the Banner under the GAA's parentage rule. His father, Pat Burke Snr, is a former Kilmurry-Ibrickane and Clare footballer.

Burke is named in a full forward line that also contains fellow debutant Eoin Cleary from St. Joseph's, Miltown and 2013 All-Ireland hurling medallist Podge Collins. 

Gary Brennan captains the side from midfield. Manager Colm Collins won't be allowed on the sideline for the game as he's currently serving a 12-week suspension.

Clare (SF v Limerick): Joe Hayes; Ciaran Russell, Kevin Hartnett, Martin McMahon; Shane Hickey, Gordon Kelly, Dean Ryan; Cathal O'Connor, Gary Brennan; Shane Brennan, Jamie Malone, Sean Collins; Eoin Cleary, Podge Collins, Pat Burke.
