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."
