BRIAN CODY HAS named his Kilkenny team for tomorrow night’s crunch Leinster hurling championship game against Wexford.
John Donnelly is selected at wing-forward with Walter Walsh on the bench in the only change from last Saturday’s win over Dublin.
Kilkenny only need a point to be assured of a place in the All-Ireland series, while Wexford must win. A victory for Kilkenny would book their place in the Leinster final.
Wexford named their team last night with Kevin Foley brought in to start by manager Darragh Egan as Paul Morris makes way.
Throw-in tomorrow evening in Nowlan Park is 6pm for a game which is live on Sky Sports Arena.
