Dublin manager Marty Morris has made one personnel and eight positional changes for the Walsh Cup hurling final against Kilkenny at Parnell Park on Sunday.

Kevin Ryan returns from holiday to form a new midfield partnership with Conal Keaney. Fergal Armstrong drops out of the side after playing in last Sunday's semi-final against Laois.

Keaney switches to the middle after starting in defence and finishing in attack during the 2-11 to 1-9 win over the Midlanders at Croke Park.

Liam Ryan is selected at centre back having done well in the position following a switch from attack during the second half against Laois.
