Waterford boss Sean Power has chosen to change his goalkeeper for tomorrow's All-Ireland U21HC final versus Galway at Semple Stadium, Thurles.

Jordan Henley wins the battle for the no.1 jersey at the expense of Gavin Power. Henley was the preferred choice for the Deise in their two Munster games but Power replaced the Tallow clubman for the All-Ireland semi-final against Antrim.

This is the only change from the side that started the comfortable 29-point success over the Ulster champions at the same venue last month. Joint-captain Patrick Curran (2), Stephen Bennett and Tom Devine (the other an own goal) all raised green flags in a landslide victory.

Senior sensation Austin Gleeson features at centre-back and is one of thirteen All-Ireland minor medallists from 2013 in the starting fifteen.

Waterford (U21HC v Galway): Jordan Henley; William Hahessy, Conor Gleeson, Darragh Lyons; Micheal Harney, Austin Gleeson, Conor Prunty; Mark O'Brien, Colm Roche; Shane Bennett, Tom Devine, DJ Foran; Patrick Curran, Stephen Bennett, Michael Kearney.
