Kildare ring changes after Cavan defeat

Kildare have made changes in all area of the field in the wake of last Sunday's defeat by Cavan, as the Lillywhites face a difficult trip to Markeveicz Park to face Sligo on Sunday.

Former all-star Brian Lacey returns at corner back, with Eamann Callaghan moving to right-half in place of Padraig Mullarkey.

Aidan McHugh is recalled in place of Killian Brennan to partner Dermot Earley in midfield.

In attack there are recalls for U-21 player Karl Ennis and Ronan Sweeney in the half-forward line and for Terry Rossiter in the inside line of attack.

Manager Padraig Nolan's long-term options are also limited by the news that experienced defender Ken Doyle has opted out of the panel.

Kildare: Enda Murphy, Brian Lace, Damien Hendy, Andrew McLoughlin, Eamonn Callaghan, Glenn Ryan, Anthony Rainbow, Aidan McHugh, Dermot Earley, Karl Ennis, Johnny Doyle, Ronan Sweeney, Tadhg Fennin, Terry Rossiter, Derek McCormack.
