Saturday’s final will see holders St Kieran’s chase a 54th Leinster Senior A title.
They boast a number of players who were on last year’s triumphant side.
Their Captain is Tommy Walsh from Tullaroan – a cousin of the Kilkenny star of the same name, as well as featuring Sean Carey from Young Ireland’s , son of Kilkenny legend DJ.
Kilkenny CBS meanwhile have won the title eight times since 1936 and their two most recent victories in 2013 and 2014 saw them defeat St Kieran’s in the Leinster final.
Joint Captain and ace marksman Conor Doheny was on that winning team.
Centre back Mark Drennan is the other Joint Captain.
