Murphy has recovered from the knee injury he suffered in club action for Glenmore in April to be named between the posts by manager Brian Cody. 

The 2016 and 2018 All-Star winning goalkeeper fractured a bone in his knee in that club match which has resulted in him missing Kilkenny’s Leinster campaign to date. Darren Brennan has deputised but he drops to the bench for tomorrow’s game in the only change from last Sunday’s loss to Galway in Nowlan Park.

Joey Holden, Cillian Buckley, Richie Hogan and Walter Walsh are all on the bench to ensure Kilkenny have a formidable range of replacements that they can call upon.
