Team news: Hickey in, Delaney out for Cats

Both Kilkenny and Galway have made one change to their teams for Sunday’s Leinster SHC final.

KILKENNY BOSS BRIAN Cody has made one change for Sunday’s Leinster SHC final at Croke Park.

In an enforced switch, Noel Hickey has been drafted in at full-back in place of JJ Delaeny, who misses out with a finger injury he picked up in the win over Dublin in Portlaoise.

Otherwise, it’s the same side what overcame Anthony Daly’s team in the semi-finals, meaning Eoin Larkin, Colin Fennelly and Paul Murphy are all passed fit.

For Galway, Anthony Cunnigham has brought David Collins in at corner-back while Joe Cooney misses out in a reshuffle.

Galway: J Skehill; D Collins, K Hynes, F Moore; N Donoghue, T Og Regan, J Coen; I Tannian, A Smith; D Burke, N Burke, C Donnellan; C Cooney, J Canning, D Hayes.
Kilkenny: D Herity; P Murphy, N Hickey, J Tyrrell; T Walsh, B Hogan, R Doyle; C Buckley, P Hogan; H Shefflin, TJ Reid, E Larkin; C Fennelly, R Power, R Hogan.
