Kilkenny shuffle the pack for final

ALL-IRELAND hurling champions Kilkenny make three changes in personnel and five positional switches from the win over Offaly for tomorrow’s Leinster hurling final with an unchanged Wexford.

Jackie Tyrrell is named at midfield in place of the injured Michael Fennelly, while Derek Lyng is recalled at centre-forward. Richie Power comes back after injury at right corner-forward. It means Michael Rice and Richie Hogan lose out in attack.

The positional alterations see Tyrrell moving from left corner-back, replaced by John Dalton who drops back from the left wing. Filling his position will be PJ Delaney, one of several substitutes used in the last game.
