Brian Cody’s Kilkenny team to face Cork this Sunday features four changes from the side that suffered a 13 point defeat in Ennis two weeks ago.
Bennettsbridge man Jason Cleere will make his senior debut at centre back with Paul Murphy reverting to his usual cornerback position as experiments continue with the Kilkenny back line.
With captain Mark Bergin still recovering from injury, O’Loughlin Gael’s will have representation on the pitch as Paddy Deegan of O’Loughlin Gaels comes in at midfield with Conor Fogarty moving back to the half back line.
Up front Colin Fennelly of Ballyhale Shamrocks makes his first appearance of the season at centre forward with Emeralds’ Conor Martin starting at full forward.
