Kilkenny manager Derek Lyng rang the changes as he named his side to face Galway in Sunday's Allianz League game at UPMC Nowlan Park.

Padraic Moylan lines out at corner-back in place of Shane Murphy, while Zach Bay Hammond starts in place of Fionan Mackessy in the half-back line. Paddy Deegan switches to midfield in place of Jordan Molloy while Cian Kenny, a late replacement for Adrian Mullen in the win over Clare, retains his place at centre-forward, with Luke Connellan also coming into the team. The full-forward line sees Luke Hogan and Gearoid Dunne start in place of Billy Ryan and Billy Drennan.placeholder image
