Lillywhites face sweat on key duo

Kildare are sweating over the fitness of key players Anthony Rainbow and Karl Ennis ahead of Saturday night's qualifier clash with Roscommon.

The pair missed Sunday's Leinster final defeat to Laois at Croke Park but are likely to figure at some stage against Tommy Carr's high flying Connacht outfit.

Kildare boss Padraig Nolan said: "We've got to pick things up straight away. The Leinster final is behind us and while we are still very disappointed, there are now new targets."
