There is just one change in the Wexford team for Sunday's Leinster hurling final against Kilkenny at Croke Park. Gone from the win over Laois in the semi-final is Garry Laffan and into the starting line-up comes Ryan Quigley, who will start at left half forward.

Quigley appeared as a substitute in last year's semi-final defeat to Offaly, but this will be his first championship start. Manager Tony Dempsey has left the rest of the team unchanged although there are a number of positional switches.

Sean Flood and Larry O'Gorman switch positions in the defence, with Flood moving to corner back and O'Gorman moving up to left wing back. Up front, there is also some movement as Rory McCarthy, who started in Quigley's new position the last day, moves into the right corner and Barry Goff moves from the left corner into full forward. Laffan was the man at full forward the last day.

Peter Barry is definitely ruled out of the Kilkenny team after breaking a thumb during the semi-final win over Offaly. The plastercast was removed at the weekend so the injury could be examined, but it was found there was still considerable bone damage.

Manager Brian Cody will wait until tomorrow night before naming his line-up. and has been limited to light training Tyrone SF

Chris Lawn is pressing for a return to the Tyrone defence for Sunday's Ulster football final against Cavan at Clones. Lawn missed the semi-final win over Derry after breaking a bone in a hand.

But given Lawn's lack of match practice, managers Art McRory and Eugene McKenna may stick with Colin Holmes.

Corner back Cormac McGinley, who also missed the victory over Derry, has recovered from a knee ligament injury, and is also in contention for selection.

Cavan SF

Manager Val Andrews will name his team this evening although few changes are expected from the team that beat Monaghan in the semi-final. Mickey Graham and Larry Reilly are still troubled by minor injuries but should be in the running for starting places.
