Unsurprisingly, Kilkenny boss Michael Walsh has kept faith with the same team that hammered Offaly by 29 points for tomorrow night's Bord Gais Energy Leinster U21HC semi-final against Dublin at Nowlan Park.

O'Loughlin Gaels clubman Mark Bergin was the star of the show against the Faithful County, who were held scoreless in the second half, helping himself to a personal haul of 1-9. Ballyhale's Colin Fennelly also chipped in with 0-5 from midfield, while Liam Ryan hit 0-5 from centre forward and fellow Clara man James Nolan bagged 1-2.

The team contains eight of the side that lost last year's All-Ireland final to Clare at Croke Park. Dublin, who will be making their first appearance in this year's championship, are due to reveal their selection tonight.

Kilkenny (U21HC v Dublin): C McGrath; A Cuddihy, C Fogarty, R Doyle; PJ Rowe, K Mooney, D Langton; P Murphy, C Fennelly; M Bergin, JJ Dunphy, L Ryan; E Murphy, W Walsh, J Nolan. Tweet
