IN KEEPING WITH their policy throughout this season’s Allianz National Hurling League Division IA campaign, Brian Cody and his selectors have made a raft of changes ahead of Sunday’s crunch encounter with Waterford.
Eoin Murphy starts in goal this weekend as JJ Delaney makes his first appearance of the season at full-back with Jackie Tyrrell named at number six.
Elsewhere in the back line, Joey Holden moves back to the corner and Cillian Buckley slots in to the wing-back position. Brian Kennedy starts right half-back with Tommy Walsh, Brian Hogan, Lester Ryan and Tomas Keogh — all of whom started last week — dropping to the bench.
Richie Hogan and Padraig Walsh continue their midfield partnership from the second half of the Dublin game with Henry Shefflin also starting on Sunday.
