Disappointment for Wexford's Barry
Dual star Redmond Barry has been omitted from the Wexford line-up for Sunday's Leinster SHC final - despite his performance at full-forward in their semi-final victory over Laois.
Barry hit 0-2 in the stop-start defeat of the Laois men but has been indirectly replaced at right half-forward by Glynn-Bartown sharpshooter Paul Carley, with Rory McCarthy covering Barry's usual position in midfield.
There is one other positional switch in Model manager Seamus Murphy's XV - skipper Michael Jacob moves to right corner forward with Dessie Mythen filling in a left half-forward.
Wexford are searching for back-to-back Leinster titles in what is the sides' 33rd meeting in the provincial hurling decider - Kilkenny lead 19-10, with three draws.
The Cats also beat Murphy's charges 3-26 to 0-5 in a one-sided league affair earlier this year.
WEXFORD (SHC v Kilkenny): D Fitzhenry; K Rossiter, D Ryan, D O'Connor; M Travers, D Ruth, D Lyng; A Fenlon, R McCarthy; P Carley, E Quigley, D Mythen, M Jacob (capt), M Jordan, R Jacob.
