One change to Kildare hurling side as Clane star Deay returns to the fold for Westmeath game

Kildare manager Joe Quaid has made just one change to the Lilywhites side that lost to Meath in their opening game of the league as they prepare to face Westmeath in Mullingar tomorrow.

The only change to the side sees Clane forward Bernard Deay coming in for the suspended Paul Divilly, who was sent off in the final moments of the loss to the Royals last weekend. Deay came on in the second half of that game and made a big impact from the bench, helping the home side to claw back a deficit and even draw level for a spell late in the second half.

The Clane man only returned from Australia in January after a two-year spell down under, and his return will be a major boost for Kildare this year. For the rest of the team it's as you were, although there is one positional switch as Niall Ó'Muineacháin reverts to wing-back and Eanna O'Neill moves into midfield.
