Tennyson recalled for Cats

Kilkenny boss Brian Cody has recalled Pat Tennyson to the starting line-up for the Cats' quarter-final clash with Clare in Croke Park on Sunday.

The Carrickshock clubman replaces the injured Conor Phelan at half-forward in the only change from the side that trounced Galway in the last round of the qualifiers.

Phelan, who made his championship debut against the Tribesmen, broke a bone in his hand in last week’s Leinster U21 final against Wexford.

Tullaroan youngster Tommy Walsh is again named at left corner-back while Ken Coogan partners Derek Lyng in the middle of the park.

DJ Carey is named at full-forward, flanked by Eddie Brennan and Jimmy Coogan.

KILKENNY (SH v Clare): J McGarry; J Ryall, N Hickey, T Walsh; R Mullally, P Barry, JJ Delaney; D Lyng, K Coogan; M Comerford, H Shefflin, P Tennyson; E Brennan, DJ Carey, J Coogan.
