Same again for Kilkenny in All-Ireland U-21 final

THE Kilkenny team to play Galway in Sunday’s Erin All-Ireland U-21 HC final at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick (2pm), is the same as that which trounced Antrim in the semi-final.

The team includes three seniors, John Tennyson at full back, Eoin Larkin at left half forward and Richie Power at full forward.

Kilkenny will relish the opportunity to atone for the defeat of their seniors in the recent All-Ireland semi-final at the hands of Galway, while the westerners see this game as a chance to put last Sunday’s senior final defeat behind them.

Galway who can call on four senior players, will name their team after training tonight.

Sunday’s final has a change of time. Originally down for 3.30 pm, it now has a 2pm throw-in.

KILKENNY (U-21 v Galway): D. Fogarty; S. Maher, J. Tennyson, D. Cody; J. Dalton, PJ Delaney, C. Hoyne; M. Rice, M. Fennelly; J. Fitzpatrick, A. Murphy, E. Larkin; E. Reid, R. Power, W. O’Dwyer.
