Kildare have unveiled their starting fifteen for tonight's Leinster MFC semi-final showdown against Meath at Pairc Tailteann, Navan (throw-in 7.30pm).
It shows four of the side that began last year's provincial final - centre-back Sam Doran and full-forward line trio Ciaran Kelly, Brian McLoughlin and Jimmy Hyland are the survivors from that 2-15 to 1-9 success over Longford twelve months ago.
Brendan Hackett's Lilywhites opened their title defence with a 2-16 to 0-7 victory over Wicklow in the first round before seeing off Westmeath by 1-16 to 0-8 to qualify for the last four - Kelly and Hyland hit combined totals of 3-9 and 0-12 respectively over the two games.
Kildare (MFC v Meath): Luke Mullins; John O'Toole, Niall Brennan, David Shaw; Tony Archbold, Sam Doran, Jason Gibbons; David Marnell, Aaron Masterson; Jack Robinson, David Kelly, Kevin Foley; Ciaran Kelly, Brian McLoughlin, Jimmy Hyland.
