Kilkenny v Galway: Leinster SHC final preview
Last Updated: 05/07/15 2:47pm
Galway have made two changes for their Leinster SHC Final clash with Kilkenny on Sunday but star forward Jason Flynn has failed to prove his fitness.
Following the comfortable defeat of Laois, Fergal Moore and Davy Glennon come into the side, with David Collins and Niall Healy making way.
The Tribesmen were without Flynn in their impressive dismissal of Laois in the provincial semi-final as he suffered a broken finger following the 13-point win over Dublin at the start of June.
It was hoped he would recover in time to face the Cats but Glennon has been given the nod instead and will start alongside Joe Canning and Cathal Mannion in the full-forward line.
Galway captain Collins misses out after tearing his hamstring in training on Tuesday night.
Kilkenny manager Brian Cody and his selectors have made just one change from the side that started against Wexford.
Colin Fennelly, who was a late withdrawal in the semi-final, is fit again and wears the No. 14 shirt with John Power moving to the bench.
Lester Ryan, who was unavailable due to an ankle injury for the semi-final, is back on the match day panel.
Kilkenny: Eoin Murphy; Paul Murphy, Joey Holden, Jackie Tyrrell; Padraig Walsh, Kieran Joyce, Cillian Buckley; Michael Fennelly, Conor Fogarty; Walter Walsh, Richie Hogan, TJ Reid; Ger Aylward, Colin Fennelly, Eoin Larkin.
Galway: Colm Callanan, Johnny Coen, John Hanbury, Padraig Mannion, Fergal Moore, Iarla Tannion, Daithi Burke, Andrew Smith, Aidan Harte, David Burke, Cyril Donnellan, Johnathan Glynn, Davy Glennon, Joe Canning, Cathal Mannion
