Brave Earley still ready to step up for Lilywhites

THE All-Ireland SFC qualifier between Kildare and Antrim will go ahead as scheduled tomorrow night in Newbridge, and Dermot Earley jnr will be available to line out for the Lilywhites.

There had been speculation that the game would be postponed due to the burial of Earley’s father, Dermot snr, earlier in the day but the family made it known that they would not want any disruption to be caused to fixtures.

It had been thought that Dermot jnr would be unavailable to play but Kildare selector, Niall Carew has revealed that the All-Star midfielder would be playing.
