Hickey makes return for Cats
Hickey’s inclusion is one of seven changes made by Kilkenny boss Brian Cody from the team that lost to Galway last Sunday. Hickey replaces Brian Hogan at full-back, and is flanked by Damien Fogarty and PJ Delaney, with Richie O’Neill starting in goal. PJ Ryan, John Dalton and Paddy Hogan are the other players to make way.
At midfield Pat Hartley replaces Niall Walsh, while in attack established players Derek Lyng and Eoin Larkin start in place of Michael Rice and Richie Power. Dublin boss Anthony Daly has made one change for their NHL Division 1 match against Galway tomorrow in Pearse Stadium. Simon Lambert comes back into the side after injury at left half-forward with Liam Ryan the player to make way.
