KILKENNY MAKE TWO changes for tomorrow night’s Bord Gáis Energy Leinster U21 hurling semi-final against Carlow from the team that defeated Dublin in last month’s quarter-final tie.

Enda Morrissey and Brian Troy are the newcomers into the half-back line at centre-back and left half-back respectively.
