KILKENNY HAVE UNVEILED their U21 hurling side to face Wexford in tomorrow’s Bord Gáis Energy Leinster championship quarter-final.
There’s four survivors from the team that lost last year’s Leinster final against Wexford after extra-time in goalkeeper Aaron Duggan, midfielder Owen McGrath, wing-forward Richie Reid and corner-forward Conor Martin.
Injury rules out Kevin Kelly, Simon Aylward and Jack Langton. Both Kelly and Langton started in last July’s provincial decider loss.
Corner-back Ger Teehan was a member of the Waterford IT side that won the Fitzgibbon Cup back in March.
Throw-in tomorrow night in Nowlan Park is 7.30pm.
