The Cats face the Tribesmen in UPMC Nowlan Park on Saturday

Kilkenny minor manager Niall Bergin has made just one change to his team for tomorrw's Leinster Minor Championship clash with Galway.

Dunnamaggin's Brian Hickey comes into the side at wing back in place of his namesake Darragh who drops out of the matchday squad altogether.

The Cats will be looking to back up their huge opening victory over Wexford but they can expect a stiffer test against a Galway team who defeated Dublin in their first fixture.

The game throws-in from UPMC Nowlan Park at 1.30pm.

Kilkenny team to face Galway- Jake O'Doherty (Mooncoin), Oisin Henderson (Dicksboro), Larry Phelan (James Stephens), David McGee (O'Loughlin Gaels); Ben Nevin (Thomastown), Josh Dowling (Erin's Own), Brian Hickey (Dunnamaggin); PJ Mackey (Rower-Inistioge), Cian Byrne (O'Loughlin Gaels); Kevin Buggy (Erin's Own), Diarmuid Behan (James Stephens), Eoin Brennan (Erin's Own); Ollie O'Donovan (John Lockes), Jake Mullen (Shamrocks Ballyhale), Conor Holohan (O'Loughlin Gaels).

Subs- Cian Dermody (James Stephens), Kealan Barcoe (Young Irelands), Sean Hanrahan (Tullogher Rosbercon), Padraic Meany (Clara), Adam Maher (O'Loughlin Gaels), Paddy O'Brien (John Lockes), Ruairi Power (James Stephens), Jach Rhatigan (Conahy Shamrocks), Killian Ryan (Shamrocks Ballyhale).
