Sullivan sticks with his guns for Kildare's massive clash with Meath this Saturday
Pat Sullivan has named the same starting XV which began the against Dublin but there were late changes last time out and more are expected here with Kildare in desperate need of a result
Kildare face Meath this Saturday, February 28 at 5pm in Manguard Park, Hawkfield and Pat Sullivan has named his starting XV for this crucial fixture.
The Lilies are winless in Lidl Ladies National Football League Division 1 and need to change when they face The Royals this weekend.
The Kildare team lines out as follows;
Corla Nallen
Emma Wheeler, Lia Reilly, Mia Doherty;
Hazel McLoughlin, Ruth Sargent, Laoise Lenehan;
Nanci Murphy, Gillian Wheeler;
Lisa Shaw, Ciara Wheeler, Molly Aspell;
Aoife Rattigan, Mayah Doyle, Alannah Prizeman.
The Lilies came up short away from home against Dublin in a game, originally fixed for Parnell Park, that was shoved into the wild winds of O'Dwyers GAA in Balbriggan. The fixture boiled down to chances missed, referee debates and, most of all, who could manage the conditions.
The game can purchased to stream live on StreamSport.ie.
Meath produced a superb performance in Dungarvan last time out to beat previously perfect Waterford by two points. The side are led by Kildare native Wayne Freeman and sit on two wins and two losses from their four league outings to this point.
The standings are far less perilous for the visitors at the weekend, but, based on previous encounters while manager of Clare, Freeman will be highly-motivated and looking to get one over on his home county.
