Niall Kelly back in as O'Neill shuffles his deck for Leinster semi-final

Cian O'Neill has made a number of changes to the side that defeated Wexford in the Leinster quarter-final last month, as his Kildare side prepare to face Westmeath in a battle to secure a Leinster final berth.

There are five changes in total, some of which have been forced due to injury, while some players have come back into contention following knocks of their own.

Injuries to Kevin Feely and Paul Cribbin means that Celbridge's Fergal Conway moves into midfield, while Cian O'Donoghue and Johnny Byrne start in the half-back line.

Further forward, Niall Kelly has shown enough to prove his fitness after a calf injury, meaning he takes the place of Alan Smith at the edge of the square. Cathal McNally and Adam Tyrell also come into the side at the expense of Ryan Houlihan and Emmet Bolton.

Throw-in is scheduled for 4.15pm in Croke Park on Sunday afternoon, and KildareNow will be reporting live from GAA headquarters to bring you all the action as it happens.
