Senior panellists Richie Doyle, Conor Fogarty and Eoin Murphy have been included in the Kilkenny team to face Wexford in tonight's Bord Gais Energy Leinster U21HC opener at Wexford Park.

Doyle is selected at centre back, Fogarty at left half back and Murphy at left half forward. The Cats hammered Offaly by 29 points at the same stage last year, only to lose to Dublin by six in the next round. The Kilkenny seniors will also travel to Wexford Park on Saturday evening for a Leinster semi-final showdown with the Model County.
