Andy Comerford is the sole Kilkenny concern as they prepare for another Leinster final showdown against Offaly. Comerford has been labouring with a groin strain in recent weeks. Manager Brian Cody was expected to pick a team last night and it will be released at some stage today.

Offaly SH

Only Kevin Martin remains on Offaly's injury list but the Offaly selectors are hopeful he will be over a hamstring injury before Sunday. Manager Pat Fleury will probably pick his team this evening.
