Derek Lyng has named his Kilkenny team to face Antrim on Sunday in the third round of the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship (Live on KCLR at 12.30pm).
The Kilkenny manager has made three changes to the team who drew with Galway in UPMC Nowlan Park on Sunday with Alan Murphy, Tom Phelan and Martin Keoghan named in the starting line-up.
Pádraig Walsh and Timmy Clifford drop to the bench while Conor Fogarty is not in the matchday panel.
There are several positional changes for the Cats as Darragh Corcoran moves to wing-back, Adrian Mullen lines out in midfield, John Donnelly takes up the centre-forward role and Billy Ryan begins at left half-forward having started at corner-forward against the Tribesmen.
Victory for the Leinster champions would see them take a big step towards another provincial decider.
Antrim will be hoping to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat to Wexford following an opening round draw with Dublin.
