Henry Shefflin’s first Galway championship team has just eight of the team that exited the 2021 championship at the hands of Waterford.

As they travel to Wexford for tomorrow’s Leinster SHC opener, the Kilkenny great has had to cope without Joe Canning and Aidan Harte who have since retired.

Éanna Murphy is chosen in goals ahead of Darach Fahy while Ardrahan’s Cianan Fahy makes his first championship appearance and Evan Niland his first SHC start.

Subs: D. Fahy; D. Cronin, T. Killeen, T.J. Brennan, S. Ryan, David Burke, J. Coen, J. Hastings, G. Lee, K. Cooney, E. Burke.
