Huw Lawlor and Padraig Walsh return for Kilkenny's league clash with Dublin

Huw Lawlor and Padraig Walsh return for Kilkenny's league clash with Dublin

Huw Lawlor

Kilkenny have made two changes for this evening's crunch Allianz National Hurling League clash with Dublin in Parnell Park.

The experienced duo of Huw Lawlor and Padraig Walsh return to the side after sitting out last Sunday's win over Laois with Niall Brassil and John Donnelly dropping to the bench.

Shamrocks of Ballyhale defender Darragh Corcoran is also back in the fold as he takes his place on the bench but the likes of Eoin Cody, Richie Reid and Adrian Mullen aren't risked as of yet.

After already losing out to Tipperary a couple of weeks ago, Kilkenny can't afford another defeat if they are to remain any hopes of qualifying for the league semi-finals and they are meeting arguably one of the form teams in the country at the moment.

The game throws in at 5pm and is live on RTE 2 Television.

Kilkenny team to face Dublin- Eoin Murphy (Glenmore); Mikey Butler (O'Loughlin Gaels), Huw Lawlor (O'Loughlin Gaels), Tommy Walsh (Tullaroan); Michael Carey (Young Irelands), Paddy Deegan (O'Loughlin Gaels), David Blanchfield (Bennettsbridge); Cian Kenny (James Stephens), Cillian Buckley (Dicksboro); Walter Walsh (Tullogher-Rosbercon), Padraig Walsh (Tullaroan), Tom Phelan (Conahy Shamrocks); Alan Murphy (Glenmore), Billy Ryan (Graigue-Ballycallan), Martin Keoghan (Tullaroan).
