BRIAN CODY HAS made three changes to his Kilkenny team for Sunday’s All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship clash with Waterford in Croke Park (15.30).
Richie Hogan has earned himself a starting berth after impressing with five points on his return from injury off the bench against Galway. Eoin Larkin slips out of the side to accommodate the Danesfort man.
The other changes see Shane Prendergast come in as captain at cornerback to replace Robert Lennon, and Carrickshock’s John Power is preferred to Lester Ryan in the half forward line.
The Deise have made two personnel changes to the side which saw off Wexford last time out. While positional changes are to be expected before throw-in, Jake Dillon and Colin Dunford have been named to start in the full-forward line in place of Maurice Shanahan and Patrick Curran.
