Jason Ryan has named his starting fifteen to face Down on Sunday in Round 2B of the Qualifiers.

There are two changes in personnel from the side which were defeated by Meath in the Leinster SFC semi-final.

Ciaran Fitzpatrick replaces Mick Foley in defence and Gary White comes in for Sean Hurley.

In the resulting re-shuffle, White lines out in midfield and Padraig O'Neill advances to wing forward. Niall Kelly lines out at centre forward while Eamonn Callaghan gets the no.13 shirt.

Paddy Brophy has recovered from injury and resumes his spot at corner forward.

The team lines out as follows:

Kildare (SFC v Down): Mark Donnellan; Ciaran Fitzpatrick, Hugh McGrillen, Ollie Lyons; Emmet Bolton, Fergal Conway, Keith Cribbin; Tommy Moolick, Gary White; Cathal McNally, Niall Kelly, Padraig O'Neill; Eamonn Callaghan, Padraig Fogarty, Paddy Brophy. Tweet
