Hogan and Donnellan back in for final

Kilkenny and Galway have both made one change from their respective semi-final wins for tomorrow’s All-Ireland SHC final.

Richie Hogan has been favoured by Brian Cody over Cillian Buckley to replace the injured Michael Rice in Kilkenny’s midfield while Cyril Donnellan comes in at the expense of Conor Cooney after being passed fit to start having come off the bench against Cork. James Regan is pushed from the half forward line to Cooney’s inside spot.

Danesfort man Hogan, who was suspended for the semi-final win over Tipperary after a straight red card against Limerick, returns to the team ahead of U21 player Buckley who came on for Rice last month.
