Kilkenny and Limerick teams.
Kilkenny and Limerick have named their teams for Sunday’s All-Ireland Hurling Final at Croke Park.
Limerick manager John Kiely and Kilkenny’s Brian Cody have both named unchanged line-ups, as the counties go head-to-head for the right to lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup.
Limerick missing Cian Lynch.
For Limerick, this means that they remain without the talismanic Cian Lynch, who reportedly suffered a twisted ankle during training.
The Patrickswell man has struggled with injuries all year but came on as a substitute to help Limerick over the line in their semi-final victory over Galway.
Lynch and Peter Casey are the only absentees from the side that beat Cork in last year’s All-Ireland decider, with the Treaty County hoping to become the first side to win three consecutive All-Irelands since Kilkenny’s four-in-a-row of 2006-2009.
