Here are the Galway hurling and football sides for tomorrow's league clashes

Galway face Kilkenny in the hurling league while they play Down in the football league.

BOTH THE GALWAY hurlers and footballers have rung the changes before tomorrow’s league ties.

Anthony Cunningham’s hurling side take on Kilkenny in Division 1A at Nowlan Park with Daithi Burke coming into their team at wing-back. That sees Aidan Harte switch to the attack with Kevin Hynes the player to lose out.

The Galway footballers bring back Finian Hanley from injury to replace Johnny Duane in the full back line as one of four personnel alterations.
