Kilkenny minor hurling manager Niall Bergin has made two changes to his side for the Good Friday clash with Galway at UPMC Nowlan Park (throw-in 5pm).

Michael Ahern (Emeralds) comes into the team in midfield, replacing Eoghan Cahill (Graigue-Ballycallan) in the line-up. In a positional reshuffle with Sean Bergin (James Stephens) moves to the half-back line.

The other change sees James O'Neill (St Martin's) replace Mikey Stynes (Dicksboro) at full-forward.

Both Kilkenny and Galway have two wins from two heading into the Good Friday game. The top side will be guaranteed a Leinster semi-final berth, with the runners-up heading to the quarter-finals.

"Galway will be a big test for us," said manager Bergin. "The two sides met in August last year and Galway won well, but we're looking forward to this game as we want to find out about our team. We have a good honest bunch and we'll learn a lot on Friday."
