O'Neill sticks to his guns as Kildare and Monaghan name sides for Croker clash

They go head-to-head on Sunday.

KILDARE BOSS CIAN O’Neill has named an unchanged starting 15 to face Monaghan in their Super 8s clash at Croke Park on Sunday (throw-in 2pm, live on Sky Sports).

The Lilywhites impressed last weekend as they put 3-20 past Fermanagh in Navan to further build on their win over 2017 All-Ireland finalists Mayo in Newbridge.

And O’Neill has entrusted the same starting team to take to the field at GAA HQ this weekend.

Monaghan meanwhile have made one change to the side that beat Laois last time out to book their place in the last eight.

Owen Duffy starts in the half-forward line with Clones’ Fintan Kelly dropping to the backs, and Colin Walsh is the player to make way to facilitate the switch-up.
