Lyons in the mix for Lilywhites’ date with Laois

KILDARE boss Kieran McGeeney received a major boost with the news that he can call on defender Ollie Lyons for Saturday’s All-Ireland qualifier clash with Laois.

Lyons was expected to be ruled out of the O’Moore Park tie after picking up a shoulder injury in the Leinster semi-final against Dublin.

It was reported that the corner-back, who made his championship debut in the Croke Park fixture, had dislocated his shoulder and was set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering the injury early in the second-half.
