There are two changes in personnel to the Dublin U21 hurling team ahead of Saturday's Bord Gáis Energy All-Ireland U21HC semi-final against Galway in Semple Stadium, Thurles (6.0).

Cian Hendricken has been ruled out through injury so Fionn Ó Riain Broin is selected at corner-back.

In attack with Cian Boland, who has been introduced in all three games to date, is named at full-forward with injury concern Chris Bennett losing out.

Dublin defeated Offaly 2-15 to 1-10 in the Leinster final with two second half goals from Seán Treacy seeing Joe Fortune's men come from 1-6 to 0-5 in arrears at half-time to seal victory.
