COLIN FENNELLY IS back in the Kilkenny team for Sunday’s Leinster senior hurling final.
The All-Ireland champions are aiming to defend their provincial title when they meet Galway at Croke Park (4pm) and manager Brian Cody has made just one change in personnel from the side which won out comfortably against Wexford.
Fit-again Fennelly, a late withdrawal that day, replaces John Power, who moves to the bench. Meanwhile, Lester Ryan has recovered from an ankle injury to take his place in the match day panel.
