Brian Dowling has named his Kildare side to take on Down on Sunday in the Allianz Hurling League Division 1B game which will now take place in Fontenoy Park, Leitrim, Co. Down, with a 12.45pm throw-in.
The teams shows a number from the side that started against Clare last weekend. Richie Hogan gets his first start while there is a new midfield pairing of Paul Dolan and Daire Guerin; Alan Goss and James Dolan start in the forward line.
Following their magnificent display against Clare last week, a game lost by just four points, Kildare will be more than aware that a win against Down is vital, the Mourne men having last their three game against Clare, Antrim and Wexford.
