Just one change made to Kildare hurling team for the visit of Westmeath tomorrow

Paul Divilly Kildare hurling
Kildare hurling manager Joe Quaid has made just one change to the side that defeated Armagh in the county's opening Allianz NHL Division 2A game, with Confey man Paul Divilly coming back into the starting 15 after serving a one match suspension. He takes the place of Dinny Stapelton in the only change for the visit of Westmeath, though there are a number of positional switches in the team named. Ross Bergin reverts to half-back from midfield, while Niall Ó'Muineacháin switches into the middle to partner David Reidy. Kilkenny native John Mulhall is named at wing-forward, while Clane's Chris Bonus goes into the full-forward line alongside Naas duo Brian Byrne and Jack Sheridan. Throw-in at St Conleth's Park is scheduled for 2pm on Sunday.
