4 players to make first senior starts as O'Neill names side for Offaly test

Cian O'Neill has opted for eight changes in personal for Kildare's final game of the year as they take on Offaly in their second game of the O'Byrne Cup in Kilcormac tomorrow evening at 7.45pm.

The side is much changed from the one that defeated Carlow last Saturday, with four players due to get their first starts in a senior shirt.

Monasterevin trio John O'Toole, DJ Earley and Padraig Nash will be joined by Kilcock defender Jason Gibbons in getting their first starts, while Tommy Moolick, Adam Tyrrell, Padraig Fogarty and James Murray also come into the side.
