KEVIN MURNAGHAN IS Kildare’s sole championship debutant for tomorrow’s Leinster SFC quarter-final against Laois in Tullamore.

The Moorefield player has been named at right-half-back in Jason Ryan’s team for the crunch clash with their neighbours.

There are ten survivors in Ryan’s line-up from the starting 15 against Monaghan in last year’s championship exit.

Laois boss Tomás Ó’Flatharta has kept faith with the team that hammered Carlow for the O’Connor Park showdown.

Throw-in is at 7pm and the winners will play Dublin on 28 June.
