Kilkenny minor team named for Leinster Championship clash with Galway

Kilkenny boss Niall Bergin has made one change to his minor side for this afternoon's Leinster Semi-Final meeting with Galway in Tullamore this afternoon.

After impressing off the bench in the Quarter-Final win over Kildare, Glenmore's Jason Cody is rewarded with a place in the starting 15 as he replaces Eoin Cahill.

The two teams met in Round 1 a couple of weeks ago where Kilkenny ran out big winners but a much different affair is expected this time around with a place in the provincial final at stake.

While Kilkenny's form has been rather mixed since that openig day success, their opponents have since defeated Wexford and Dublin and will travel to the Midlands in an upbeat mood.

The game throws-in at Glenisk O'Connor Park from 4pm and the winners will face Dublin in the final after they overcame Wexford yesterday.

Kilkenny team to face Galway- Jake O'Doherty (Mooncoin); Oisin Henderson (Dicksboro), Larry Phelan (James Stephens), Bobby Brennan (Erin's Own); Anthony Clifford (Dicksboro), Jack Dollard (Glenmore), Mikey Rohan (Carrickshock); David Barcoe (Clara), Kevin Buggy (Erin's Own); Jake Mullen (Shamrocks), Bill McDermott (James Stephens), Jason Cody (Glenmore); Ollie O'Donovan (John Lockes), Conor Holohan (O'Loughlin Gaels), Eoin Brennan (Erin's Own).

Subs- Daniel McCormack (O'Loughlin Gaels), Diarmuid Behan (James Stephens, Cian Byrne (O'Loughlin Gaels), Eoghan Cahill (Graigue Ballycallan), Jake Connery (Erin's Own), Robbie Doherty (Mooncoin), Conor McEvoy (James Stephens), Bill O'Shea (Dicksboro), Louis Raggett (Dicksboro)
