Joe Canning has been kept in reserve for tomorrow's HL Division 1 semi-final against Kilkenny.

The Portumna ace came off the bench in the quarter-final win over Limerick and was expected to lead the Tribesmen into battle but manager Anthony Cunningham has other ideas.

Canning's club-mate Andy Smith has been included at left half-forward replacing injured corner-back Fergal Moore.

David Burke reverts to midfield in the reshuffle with Johnny Coen taking over from Moore in the full-back line.

Galway supporters will be relieved to hear that Iarla Tannian and Niall Healy have both overcome hamstring injuries to line up against the Cats.
