Kilkenny minor side named for Leinster Semi-Final clash with Dublin
The Noresiders are aiming to defend their provincial crown
Kilkenny manager Niall Bergin has named a strong side for tomorrow's Leinster Minor Hurling Championship Semi-Final with Dublin.
The game in UPMC Nowlan Park is not only a repeat of the final round-robin game between the two counties which Kilkenny won but it's also the same fixture as last year's Leinster decider.
The Cats will start the game as big favourites with their entire named starting forward line all still underage from the 2024 campaign and confidence will be high that Kilkenny can reach a third final on the trot.
Throw-in for the game is at 2pm.
