Left-arm spinner Graham Kennedy has been named in a 12-man NW Warriors side that will take on Northern Knights in their final interpro warm-up match.

The match will determine if Kennedy's shoulder can stand the rigour of interprovincial action, with the Warriors opening the competition away in Dublin next Tuesday against 50 overs cup holders Leinster Lightning.

He injured the Ireland Wolves tour of Namibia, but thankfully a MRI scan indicated no surgery was required.

William Porterfield, Stephen Doheny and Conor Olphert are named in the Warriors squad that is missing Craig Young and Shane Getkate.

Play at Belmont begins at 12pm.
