BRIAN CODY AND his management team have made a host of changes as Kilkenny get set to face Galway in Nowlan Park this Sunday.
Two weeks after topping Tipperary in a ten-goal thriller, the defending champions have made no less than eight changes for their Allianz National Hurling League Division 1A clash with the Tribesmen.
Eoin Murphy replaces David Herity in goal while Conor Fogarty, Michael Walsh, Jackie Tyrrell and Cillian Buckley are the fresh faces in defence.
Geoff Brennan comes into midfield while Richie Hogan and Joe Brennan take their place among the half-forwards.
