Team selection SHC Leinster Final vs. Kilkenny

Anthony Daly makes one change Sunday's Leinster Final matchup vs. Kilkenny. Liam Ryan comes in at number 11 replacing Peter Kelly.

It’s a big day for the senior hurlers and supporters must go out & give them every encouragement. As one young Dublin star of the future said, “I’ve never lost to a Kilkenny team & I don’t intend to start now”. It is with positive, not arrogant, attitudes like that that Dubs fans must recognise & encourage & make sure that the players are given every opportunity to succeed.

As mentioned in an earlier post Tim Berners Lee invented the WWW the last time Dublin reached a Leinster SHC Final. A Dublin win on Sunday would mean as much to the metropolitans as the web now means to Berners Lee.
