Kilkenny manager Brian Cody has made just one change to his side to play Dublin in the Leinster SHC final at Croke Park tomorrow evening.

Thomastown's John Donnelly comes in at right-half forward following the dramatic extra-time win against Wexford. Donnelly inclusion sees team-captain Adrian Mullen move to midfield as Richie Leahy loses out.

Cody will be hoping to deliver a seventeenth Leinster senior hurling crown as Kilkenny manager when they cross swords with the Dubs at the final stage for the first time since 2014.

Kilkenny (Leinster SHC final v Dublin): Eoin Murphy; Tommy Walsh, Huw Lawlor, Paddy Deegan; Darragh Corcoran, Padraig Walsh, Conor Browne; Richie Reid, Adrian Mullen; John Donnelly, Martin Keoghan, Billy Ryan; Eoin Cody, TJ Reid, Alan Murphy.

Subs: Darren Brennan, Joey Holden, Darren Mullen, Michael Carey, James Maher, Cillian Buckley, Conor Fogarty, Richie Leahy, Walter Walsh, James Bergin, Richie Hogan.
