Kildare forward Gerry Keegan in action against Ryan McCambridge of Antrim in the Allianz Hurling League Division 1B
Brian Dowling's men picked up a brilliant win last time out against Antrim and their first in Division 1B but now face an entirely different prospect against 2024 All-Ireland champions Clare.
Brian Lohan takes his Clare team to Cedral St Conleth's Park, Newbridge, on Saturday, February 21 for an evening game that will throw-in at 6:30pm.

The Banner have won all three of their opening games, defeating Antrim, Down and Dublin, all in impressive style, defeating Dublin 3-18 to 1-22; Down 3-35 to 0-15 while also getting the better of Antrim 2-30 to 1-19, so the task facing Brian Dowling's side is immense, to say the least.
Still it should certainly be a major occasion for Kildare fans, to see their own taking on a county the calibre of Clare and it once again, shows the strides The Lilies have made in recent times.
