Brian Cody has named one change on the Kilkenny team to face Dublin this Sunday in the last round of the Allianz National Hurling League in Parnell Park.
Conor Martin returns to the fold, in at corner forward, with Alan Murphy resuming his role as Eoin’s replacement on the bench.
Following injury layoffs, there’s a welcome return to the extended squad for Lester Ryan, Pat Lynch, Jonjo Farrell and team captain Mark Bergin of O’Loughlin Gaels. Richie Hogan deputises in Bergin’s absence.
