Cody makes three changes as Cats ready to tear into Offaly

Kilkenny, who play Offaly in the Leinster SHC at Nowlan Park tomorrow (7pm), have made three changes from the league final win over Tipperary.

Lester Ryan’s inclusion at midfield allows Pádraig Walsh to move to the half-back line, where he replaces Joey Holden, with no room for his brother Tommy Walsh.

Richie Hogan partners Lester Ryan at midfield, with Michael Fennelly starting at centre-forward. Walter Walsh and Eoin Larkin replace the injured Richie Power and Henry Shefflin in attack.
