Cody makes two changes from side that beat Dubs for clash with Galway

KILKENNY coach Brian Cody has made two changes from the side that defeated Dublin in round one of the All-Ireland qualifiers for Sunday’s clash with Galway in the second round.

James Ryall comes in at right corner-back to the exclusion of Michael Kavanagh, while Conor Phelan is preferred to Aidan Fogarty at left half-forward. Phelan who was a member of the successful U21 team of last year, is making his championship debut. UCC student Tommy Walsh is again named as a defender at left corner-back, while Ken Coogan, who won a Fitzgibbon Cup medal at full-back with Waterford IT this year, will partner Derek Lyng at midfield.

Galway coach Conor Hayes has kept faith with the team that defeated Down in the opening All-Ireland qualifer for Sunday’s clash with Kilkenny in round two.
