Three Kilkenny changes as keeper Murphy returns

One change had been expected, but Brian Cody last night made three for tomorrow’s All-Ireland final from the side that started against Limerick.

It had been widely anticipated that Richie Power would take the place of Mark Kelly, having impressed when coming on in the semi-final.

However, Eoin Murphy’s recall to goal in the place of David Herity is something of a surprise, as is Walter Walsh taking Padraic Walsh’s spot in the forward line. The younger brother of Tommy had started every game this summer.
