The home advantage to the Cats has come about as a result of a home and away arrangement between the two counties with the last game between the two at this grade being the 2006 All-Ireland U20 Hurling Final which took place in Thurles.

While Kilkenny will be very much used to their surroundings, how much of an advantage it will be is uncertain as the Premier County have won All-Ireland Minor titles with this group of players at the Noreside venue in both 2022 and 2024 and also played there in last year's under 20 defeat to Offaly.

It's also a repeat meeting of the dramatic All-Ireland Minor final last term between the neighbourly counties and looks set to attract a bumper crowd on the June Bank Holiday weekend as Brendan Cummins' team look to bring home the All-Ireland title.

The game is fixed for a 3pm throw-in and will be live on TG4.
