No fewer than six of Kilkenny’s 2015 All-Ireland winning team have been named as part of the Leinster squad looking to defend their Inter-Provincial title this weekend against a Munster side.
Laois hurling legend and Leinster manager Pat Critchley has called upon the services of Conor Fogarty, Lester Ryan and Walter Walsh alongside All-Stars Paul Murphy, Cillian Buckley and Brian Hogan.
Carlow hurling fans will be delighted to young Marty Kavanagh included in the 27-man panel.
Overall, 10 different counties are represented in the provincial side who travel to Pearse Stadium, Galway this Saturday with throw-in at 2pm. The winners face either Connacht or Ulster in the final on Sunday.
