No change for hurlers
The 15 players that took the field for last week's Christy Ring Cup quarter-final victory over Kildare have retained the faith of manager Cillian Farrell and have been trusted to start against Wicklow in Saturday's semi-final in arklow, 2.30. That means that there is still no place for Kilmessan's Nicky Horan in the starting line up. Horan was selected to start against Kildare, but was replaced by Paddy Conneely prior to throw in and now the Kildalkey man has been chosen to retain his corner forward spot. The team in full is: 1. Shane McGann, Kiltale 2. Cormac Reilly, Navan O'Mahony's 3. Enda Fitzgerald, Roscrea Tipperary 4. Willie Mahedy, Kiltale 5. James Toher, Trim 6. Damien Healy, Longwood 7. Enda Keogh (C), Kildalkey 8. Stephen Morris, Blackhall Gaels 9. Stephen Clynch, Kilmessan 10. Colm Ó Mealóid, Donaghmore Ashbourne 11. Steven Donoghue, Kiltale 12. James Kelly, Kiltale 13. Paddy Conneely, Kildalkey 14. Noel Kirby, Kildalkey 15. Peter Durnin, Kiltale
