    Since the injury was torn cruciate ligaments, I really hope they don't take any chances. It's not worth the risk of doing further damage

    I like the look of that team but can I ask an honest question? Was Wallace that poor to be dropped? Other "team picks" before didn't include him either. Also I'd pick Fogarty any day ahead of Wally in midfield (despite some opinions of him)

    Absolutely on Fogarty. Until I see different I think he needs to be on the field. Few work harder than he does & he's more consistent than Wally. As interesting as seeing Wally in midfield is. I thought Wallace was solid enough given his experience, but haven't seen enough of the young guys like him, T. Walsh, & others outside of club hurling. that's where this shortened year really hurt teams, leaving them no real chance to bring new & younger players up to IC Championship levels. Going from league to championship is a big step up. Lots of these guys are essentially going from club to championship, maybe a few league games under their belt. We'll see & I for one can't wait.
    Time to step up & win back Leinster +

    Kilkenny team for Leinster Final

    P Walsh Delaney. Buckley
    Browne. Fogarty
    Leahy TJ Donnelly
    Fennelly. Walter Cody

    I like the look of that team but it won't start like that. Too many changes for Cody's liking. Billy ryan won't be playing he is out with a quad injury from what I'm told. How is Ger Alyward going does anyone know. He can be a bit headless but I like that he is a nuisance and he has no fear of the tough stuff.

    Bennetsbridge still looking for a manager, after Bennett was appointed , but then pulled out due to work pressures ?

    Heard deegan came in to close contact with a covid case.He will be a loss.Team will probably be released tomor.The talk is joey and browne could come into the team but with deegan now gone we will have to re shuffle things.Buckley might go to six with delaney on the wing.

    There is talk of leahy starting aswell so that could be close.
    I do think it's time for delaney to really cement his place on this team.I do see him as our long term number 6.Leahy burst onto the scene below in thurles in 17 against limerick he needs to start nailing down his place aswell.

    Totally agree regarding Delaney and Leahy. It's up to Delaney to keep Deegan out of number 6.

    Would have thought a couple of years ago Delany would have been our permanent full back.

    Watched him up along and I thought the same.He played 3 years u21 I know we struggled at that level.Cody wanted someone he could trust after the 16 final so Padraig was given the job.It looked like last year he was being set up for the position and played in a few games and done ok.He was very good in thurles against tipp but got injured for comer and lawlor by kinda accident slipped in and to be fair to him for his first year he done well.He was marking the oppositions best foward nearly every day.Hopefully he would of learned alot after last year.Huge test coming Saturday with Conor whelan.I love watching this lad he is strong as a bull.
    We will need to have our match ups right.We are going in under the radar which suited us last year against limerick and cork.I wonder will he throw tj in around full foward again?Galway had their homework done the last day.They will try curtail tj but he is just so good he will cause teams trouble.We need to try get more out of the other fowards.Hopefully we can play more of the good hurling we played in the first half the last day.Billy ryan looks very doubtful and leahy is touted to come in.Eoin cody out on the half foward line didnt work.i would of thought he is better suited nearer the goal and has a good understanding with colin.

    Martin Keoghan may be in the running to start based on coming on as a substitute the last day

    Lot of changes is it 4 new starters from last day & lot of positional changes if they line out as named, whole new half back & midfield, Shamrocks full forward line looks like it could have goals in it if they can get good ball into them

    Two forced changes, Billy Ryan and P Deegan not available, and two dropped, R Reid and C Wallace. D Mullen and N Brassil make the subs bench.
