The sides meet in the Bord Gáis Energy Leinster U20 hurling semi-final tomorrow night in O’Moore Park in Portlaoise at 7.30pm.

Cody, who emerged for the Kilkenny senior side this year, is selected at centre-forward with club-mates Dean Mason starting in goal and Darragh Corcoran named at full-back. The trio helped Ballyhale win the All-Ireland club final back in January against Tipperary’s Borris-Ileigh.

The Kilkenny team, managed by Derek Lyng with Peter Barry and Michael Rice serving as selectors, have named six players who featured for the U20s during the loss to Cork at the All-Ireland semi-final stage last year. Mason and Cody along with David Blanchfield, Conor Murphy, Conor Heary and Stephen Donnelly are the survivors from that game.

Galway thumped Laois by 4-21 to 0-7 in last week’s quarter-final and have made just the one change from that game. Conor Flaherty comes in at centre-back and replaces Adam Brett.

Meanwhile the Tipperary minor team have made two changes for Sunday’s Munster final against Limerick. Philly Hayes is drafted in at corner-back while David Fogarty comes in at corner-forward.

Throw-in at the Gaelic Grounds is 1pm as Tipperary seek to build on last weekend’s semi-final win over Waterford.
