Nicky Kirwan comes into the Wexford starting fifteen for tonight's Leinster IHC final showdown with Kilkenny at Innovate Wexford Park.

Experienced Oulart-The Ballagh attacker Kirwan starts as an indirect replacement for Simon Donohoe who is ineligible for the grade after making his debut for the seniors in their win over Cork last Saturday.

Jack Pettit's goal was the difference when the Model men knocked out reigning provincial and All-Ireland champions Galway by 1-16 to 0-16 in the semi-final two weeks ago.

Wexford (IHC v Kilkenny): Darragh Hughes; Aaron Maddock, Sean Murphy, Kevin Sheridan; Jack Kelly, Richie Kehoe, Joe O'Connor; Billy Dunne, Tommy Dwyer; John Doyle, Danny Martin Carroll, Gary Moore; Ryan Mahon, Jack Pettit, Nicky Kirwan.

Subs: Ben O'Connor, Diarmuid O'Leary, Donal Shanley, Michael O'Hanlon, Ross Donohoe, Jake Firman, Shane Murphy, Eoin Doyle, Patrick O'Connor.
