Minor ace Hogan gets nod as Kilkenny get vote to pip Tipp in replay

KILKENNY make one change to the starting line-up for this afternoon’s All-Ireland U-21 hurling replay against Tipperary in Thurles with minor star Richie Hogan in at corner-forward for Alan Healy.

Hogan replaced Healy in the drawn game with 20 minutes to go and hit 1-1, with the goal, three minutes into added time, the equalising score.

Tipperary manager Fr Tom Fogarty, whose own management team is sticking by a decision not to use any of the successful Tipp minor team of this year, isn’t surprised.
