3 Moorefield players added to Kildare panel ahead of final league games

Cian O'Neill has called in three players from Moorefield's Leinster Championship winning side to his Kildare panel ahead of the final two rounds of the National League.

With Kildare as good as relegated with two games to go against Kerry and Galway, O'Neill has some scope for experimentation and is likely to change his team around in the final games ahead of the Leinster Championship.

Defenders Mark Dempsey and James Murray have been added to the panel, along with current Club Footballer of the Year Eanna O'Connor.

Speaking after the defeat to Mayo on Sunday, O'Neill said;

"They came in Tuesday and they have two sessions under their belt already. We’ll be travelling down next weekend to Kerry as a full group and we’ll have a match on Saturday and another session on Sunday. It’s a great opportunity to integrate them fully because obviously there is a difference between your league and championship panels.

"Each of the lads are in on merit, they’ve had fantastic seasons with their club. They’re looking forward to the step up, because obviously it’s significant from club to county. We’re excited to have them in and challenging for the team because it can only be good."
