Injuries force Lilywhites to ring changes for Wicklow clash

KILDARE have been forced to make changes for Sunday’s Leinster SFC clash with Wicklow in Croke Park because of injuries to a number of regular players.

Round Towers’ Padraig Mullarkey is recalled at right corner-back for his first championship start since the 2003 campaign, with Anthony Rainbow switching to the left corner.

Michael Foley - a midfield regular throughout the NFL campaign - reverts to right half-back, with David Lyons (Clane), full-back in last year’s campaign and who impressed in a recent challenge game against Kerry, named at left half-back.
