Eoin Cody starts for Kilkenny as Tipperary name unchanged team for All-Ireland semi-final

KILKENNY HAVE MADE two changes for their All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Tipperary, as the sides prepare to meet in Croke Park on Sunday [throw-in, 4pm].

Eoin Cody returns to the full-forward line for Stephen Donnelly after recovering from injury while Shane Murphy replaces Tommy Walsh at corner-back.

Cody missed the Leinster final win over Galway due to injury, but manager Derek Lyng revealed earlier this week that he has returned to full fitness and would be available for selection.

Harry Shine and Marty Murphy have both been ruled out from the Kilkenny squad since the Leinster final due to injury.

Meanwhile, Tipperary have named an unchanged side from the team that defeated Galway in the All-Ireland quarter-final at the Gaelic Grounds.

Manager Derek Lyng and his selectors have named the Kilkenny team to face Tipperary in Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC semifinal.
