Kildare opt for O'Neill-Glavin midfield

Kildare manager John Crofton has named Kevin O'Neill and Ross Glavin as his midfield pairing for Sunday's Leinster SFC first round clash with Meath (Croke Park, throw-in 4pm).

O'Neill, who was positioned at full-back for the 2006 championship, and his Moorefield club-mate Glavin, who only recently made his first appearance of the season due to injury, will step into the breach at centre-field for the Lilywhites.
