Kilkeny manager Derek Lyng has named his team to face Galway in this Sunday's Leinster Senior Hurling Championship Final in Croke Park. The starting selection is back along similar lines to the team that defeated Dublin a couple of weeks ago with Tommy Walsh replacing David Blanchfield the only alteration from that occasion.

It’s back to Croke Park this weekend as Kilkenny bid to win a sixth consecutive Leinster senior hurling championship title when they face Galway. It’s a ninth final meeting between the counties since they first met in the province in 2009 and the Cats will be looking to continue their relative dominance over the Tribesmen. In those nine final meetings - 10 if you include one replay - Galway have only come out on top twice, in 2012 and 2018.

Kilkenny’s All-Ireland championship hopes took a hit as a result of defeat on Saturday, but manager Tommy Shefflin had no qualms as he felt they were beaten by the better side. “It’s a disappointing result as we were coming here to win today, but we can have no complaints as Waterford were by far the better team,” he said. “They could have had two or three goals in the first half alone and they had more chances in the second half too.

it’s another big week on the camogie and hurling front with both senior teams heading to Dublin for crucial clashes that may define their season. After losing out at home to Waterford last Saturday, Tommy Shefflin’s camogie outfit are under the microscope as they travel to Parnell Park on Saturday at 2pm where points are very much at a premium.
