Fennelly returns at centre-forward for Cats but no room for Shefflin, Walsh, Power or Fogarty

Kilkenny’s Michael Fennelly returns at centre-forward for tomorrow’s All-Ireland semi-final clash against Limerick.

The 29-year-old suffered a back spasm on the Friday evening before the county’s drawn Leinster semi-final encounter with Galway. Fennelly missed the remainder of the provincial campaign, but has been passed fit to start at Croke Park. Colin Fennelly, centre-forward against Dublin last time out, moves to right corner.

Mark Kelly reclaims the No 14 shirt, having been overlooked in the Dublin and Galway fixtures.
