Power and Walsh out but Fennelly and Rice passed fit

Richie Power and Walter Walsh are unable to take their places in the Kilkenny team to face Tipperary in tomorrow’s Division 1 final in Nowlan Park — but Michael Fennelly and Michael Rice have been passed fit for the game.

In two changes from the team that beat Galway in the semi-final two weeks ago, fit-again Fennelly and Cillian Buckley come in for Power and Walsh.

Fennelly returns to midfield with Buckley named at half-forward.
