3 changes for Quaid's hurlers as they look to continue impressive start to the league

Kildare hurling manager Joe Quaid has made three changes to his side as they look to build on their impressive start to their National League campaign when they travel to Cushendall to take on Antrim tomorrow afternoon.

Dinny Stapelton and Mark Delaney come back into the side after missing out on the victory over Westmeath in round two, while Paudie Ryan makes his first start of the league campaign for the visit up north. The Naas trio of Ross Bergin and Jack Sheridan drop out of the starting lineup to accommodate the changes.

There are plenty of positional among Quaid's ranks too, with Niall O'Muineacháin reverting to corner-back, Michael Reidy moving out to the wing and Paul Divilly dropping back into midfield from centre-forward. David Reidy, who struck nine points in the win over the Lake County men, will move to centre-forward, flanked by Brian Byrne as he moves out to the wing.

Throw-in for the clash with the Saffrons is scheduled for 2pm.

P Dermody 9; C Forde 7, J Doran 8, M Reidy 7, S Gainey 7, M Moloney 7, R Bergin 5; N O'Muineachain 7, D Reidy 8; J Mulhall 8, P Divilly 7, P Moran 6, C Bonus 6, B Byrne 7, J Sheridan 7. Subs: P Ryan 6 for Begin (15); R Ryan 5 for Bonus (65), M Purcell 5 for Moran (68).
