Moolick to make first start in the league as O'Neill makes one change for Tyrone clash

Tommy Moolick will make his first start of this year's Allianz National Football League in the only change to the Kildare side that seeks a first win in Division 1 in 2018.

Manager Cian O'Neill has opted for just one personnel change, bringing in the Leixlip man to replace Luke Flynn who had started the opening two games of the league. Ben McCormack and Mick O'Grady, both of whom went off injured against Monaghan, have also been named to start.

Kildare lost their opening round game to Dublin on a scoreline of 2-17 to 2-10, and while their second round match against Monaghan was a much tighter affair, the Lilywhites were left empty handed again as they succumbed to a 1-10 to 0-12 defeat.

Tyrone lost to Dublin last time out, following up on their opening day defeat to Galway in Tuam, meaning this game is every bit as significant to the Red Hands as it is for O'Neill's side.
