O'Neill makes 4 changes to Kildare side ahead of final round game against Offaly tomorrow

Kildare manager Cian O'Neill has made four changes to his Kildare team ahead of the final round of the O'Byrne Cup, with the Lilywhites guaranteed a semi-final place if they beat Offaly in O'Connor Park tomorrow.

Johnny Byrne comes back into the side just eight days after going off with a hamstring injury against Longford in the opening round, meaning Cian O'Donoghue drops down to the bench.

Ollie Lyons continues to occupy the number four jersey, with Peter Kelly dropping out after playing two full matches in the space of five days for the Lilywhites, meaning Mick O'Grady reverts to corner-back and Athy man David Hyland goes to his familiar position of full-back.

Kildare captain Eoin Doyle is named at centre-back after being rested against IT Carlow, while Niall Kelly takes David Slattery's place at full-forward for the final round tie with the Faithful County. There is also a return between the posts for Maynooth stopper Mark Donnellan after Shane McNamara played in the facile win over the students on Wednesday night.
