Kilkenny name their team for the 2023 All Ireland Senior Hurling Final

Derek Lyng and his selectors have named the team to take on Limerick this Sunday.

The Cats were sweating over the fitness of David Blanchfield, however, the Bennetsbridge man has now been named to start in the half-back line.

Elsewhere it is much the same from the named side to face Clare in the semi-final, bar a few positional changes.
