THE KILKENNY TEAM for the All-Ireland U21 hurling final has eight survivors from the side who defeated Limerick in the minor final three years ago.
The Cats face the same opponents at Semple Stadium tomorrow at 3pm as they look to claim the county’s first title at this grade in nine years.
Eddie Brennan has named an unchanged team from Kilkenny’s semi-final mauling of Derry, with Richie Leahy retained at midfield and Liam Blanchfield named at full-forward.
The Limerick team can be found here.
