Paul Roche returns from injury to take his place in the Wexford team for Saturday evening's Leinster SHC semi-final against Kilkenny at Wexford Park.

Roche, who missed the quarter-final win over Antrim, returns at right corner back with Ciaran Kenny relocating to wing back at the expense of Michael Jacob, who drops to the bench.

The other change sees Garrett Sinnott preferred to Eanna Martin at full forward. Matthew O'Hanlon and Harry Kehoe, who were part of the Wexford team that edged out Kilkenny in the Bord Gais Energy Leinster U21HC quarter-final on Tuesday night, are named at full back and centre forward respectively.

Kilkenny will name their team tonight and all the indications are that Henry Shefflin will be included after recovering from a second cruciate ligament operation.

Wexford (SH v Kilkenny): N Breen; P Roche, M O'Hanlon, K Rossiter; L Prendergast, D Stamp (captain), C Kenny; W Doran, D Redmond; PJ Nolan, H Kehoe, S Banville; R Jacob, G Sinnott, J Berry. Tweet
