KILKENNY HAVE MADE three changes to their starting team ahead of the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship final against Dublin on Sunday in Croke Park.
David Herity of Dunnamaggin replaces Eoin Murphy in goal, although the latter has recovered from injury to take a spot on the bench.
In the half-forward line, Tullogher Rosbercon’s Walter Walsh comes into the side in place of Tommy Walsh, while John Power of Carrickshock starts in the full-forward line, with Aidan Fogarty dropping onto the bench.
Meanwhile, the Dubs have recalled Danny Sutcliffe to their starting team after the St. Jude’s forward missed the semi-final victory over Wexford.
The 22-year-old comes into the half-forward line, meaning Colm Cronin moves up to full-forward and Mark Schutte drops out.
Throw-in at Croke Park on Sunday is at 16.00.
