Kilkenny underage sides named for clashes with Wexford
The Under 19 and Under 20's are both in action today
It's an early start for Kilkenny supporters today as the Under 19's meet Wexford in St Peter's College at 10.45am before the Under 20's face off with the Model County across the road in Chadwicks Wexford Park at 12.30pm.
Wexford's appearance in the Allianz Football League Final later this evening is the reasoning for such an early start to the games but there should still be plenty of learnings from both games.
Matthew Ruth's Under 19 team will be looking for back to back victories in the Development League as they meet the hosts in a repeat of last year's final while the Under 20 clash is the first of two round-robin games on successive weekends for Mark Dowling's men.
The two teams line out as follows:
Kilkenny Under 19 team- Conor O'Sullivan (Erin's Own), Dara Behan (James Stephens), Conor Brophy (Erin's Own), Bill O'Shea (Dicksboro), Sam Hayes (Danesfort), David Barcoe (Clara), Sean Deely (James Stephens), Donnchadh Hennessy (Dicksboro), Anthony Clifford (Dicksboro), Bill McDermott (James Stephens), John Fitzpatrick (Shamrocks Ballyhale), Zac Scanlon (James Stephens), Steven Kinsella (Graignamanagh), Patrick Lacey (Dicksboro), Robbie Doherty (Mooncoin).
Kilkenny Under 20 team- Stephen Manogue (James Stephens), Timmy Kelly (Bennettsbridge), Ivan Bolger (Graignamanagh), Darragh Vereker (Glenmore), Rory Garrett (Fenians), Eoghan Lyng (Rower Inistioge), Cathal Hickey (St Lachtain's), Tom McPhillips (Dicksboro), Jeff Neary (Graigue Ballycallan), Ed Lauhoff (James Stephens), Aaron McEvoy (Graigue Ballycallan), Michael Brennan (Erin's Own), James Hughes (Bennettsbridge), Ed McDermott (James Stephens), Rory Glynn (Clara).
