Kilkenny and Limerick have both gone with the same starting 15 from their semi-final victories for tomorrow's All-Ireland Hurling Final in Croke Park.

The big news for Limerick is that current player of the year Cian Lynch misses out on the matchday squad altogether after picking up a foot injury last weekend with Barry Murphy taking his place on the bench.

Kilkenny have also made one change to the bench with Conor Fogarty overcoming a broken hand to replace Darragh Corcoran.

The Cats are aiming to win a 37th All-Ireland title in their history against a Limerick side who are aiming to do the three in a row with Kilkenny's Mikey Butler, Mikey Carey, Cian Kenny, Eoin Cody and Martin Keoghan all set for their first All-Ireland final appearance.
