Revealed: Kildare hurlers set to begin league campaign with trip to Donegal

Kildare will get their Allianz National Hurling League campaign up and running with a visit to Donegal on the last Sunday in January next year after the provisional fixtures were released today.

The hurlers, who will be playing in Division 2B after suffering relegation from 2A in 2018, will have the advantage of three home games as they look to bounce back up to the third tier of hurling.

Warwickshire at home will be Kildare’s first game of the league in their own venue, while they will also face Ulster sides Derry and Down in Kildare.

The Lilywhites travel to Wicklow in round four of the league.
