Kildare boss Cian O'Neill says his players won't be taking Wexford for granted when they kick off their Leinster SFC campaign on Saturday.

The Lilywhites lost out on silverware last month when they fell to a fired-up Clare side in the Division Three final and O'Neill acknowledges that they'll be coming up against another stiff test at Croke Park this weekend.

"Wexford are a dangerous team, absolutely, no doubt they will be disappointed not to have come out of Division Four," O'Neill told GAA.ie. 

"Similar to how we were disappointed not to have won the Division Three final so you'll have two teams coming into the match with a point to prove. They'll have a point to prove to themselves and to the supporters in the county. So it is a game we will really prepare for. 

"On any one day if you are anyway off it you could be caught. I'm sure Jim Gavin would say the same from a Dublin perspective and Eamonn Fitzmaurice in Kerry as well, the top two teams in the country. I'm sure David (Power) will have Wexford prepared to the top level so we are looking forward to it, I'm excited actually."
