Kilkenny manager Derek Lyng has revealed his line-up for Sunday’s Leinster senior hurling championship final against Galway at Croke Park (4pm).

With a host of changes from the experimental side that lost to Wexford last time out, the Cats are more familiar looking for this weekend, with 13 of the side that started last year’s Leinster final named in the starting 15 for the showdown with the Tribesmen at headquarters.

Among those to return from the Wexford loss two weeks ago are Mikey Butler, Huw Lawlor, Mikey Carey, Paddy Deegan and Billy Ryan, while injured ace attacker Eoin Cody is still unavailable.

U20 star Marty Murphy is named on the bench for the Leinster champions after having scored 1-2 in the All-Ireland final defeat to Tipperary at Nowlan Park last weekend.

Manager Derek Lyng and his selectors have named the Kilkenny team to face Galway in Sunday’s Leinster Final.
