Fitzpatrick out of Kilkenny team
Kilkenny manager Brian Cody has sensationally omitted last year's All-Ireland-winning captain James 'Cha' Fitzpatrick from his team for Sunday's SHC final showdown with Tipperary at Croke Park (throw-in 3.30pm).
Cody has made two personnel changes to the side which beat Waterford last time out at the semi-final stage.
