TJ REID IS set to make his first start of the season for Kilkenny on Saturday in their Leinster SHC second-round clash against Laois at Nowlan Park [throw-in, 5.30pm].
The Ballyhale Shamrocks star was introduced as a half-time substitute last weekend as Kilkenny launched their Leinster title defence with a 16-point win over Westmeath. He went on to score 1-4 in that tie and is now set to be promoted to the starting line-up for Brian Cody’s side as Martin Keoghan makes way.
There are three other changes in the team that will host Laois, with John Donnelly coming into the half-forward line to replace Alan Murphy.
Conor Browne and James Maher have also been drafted in while Cian Kenny and David Blanchfield are named among the substitutes.
