Wexford manager JJ Doyle has rewarded Cathal Dunbar for his impressive showing against Offaly with a starting place in tonight's Leinster U21HC final versus Kilkenny at Innovate Wexford Park (throw-in 7.30pm).

Dunbar comes into the right corner forward position and is the replacement for Shane Murphy, who drops to the substitutes. The incoming Ballygarret club man came off the bench to score 1-1 in the 2-16 to 1-12 semi-final defeat of the Faithful County last time out.

The Model County are gunning for a third successive provincial title at this level under Doyle.

Wexford (U21HC v Kilkenny): Oliver O'Leary; Simon Donohoe, Liam Ryan, Eoin Conroy; Jim White, Padraig Foley, Jack O'Connor; Conor Devitt, Gavin Bailey; Andrew Kenny, Kevin Foley, James Cash; Cathal Dunbar, Conor McDonald, Peter Sutton.

Subs: Luke White, Tony French, Sean Murphy, Lar McDonald, Sam Kelly, Shane Murphy, Jake Firman, Sean Kenny, Billy Kelly.
