Kildare have named the same starting fifteen that defeated Offaly two weeks ago, for Saturday's Round 3 clash with Derry at Cedral St Conleth's Park, Newbrige, in Round 3 of the Allianz National Football League which throws-in at 6.30.
Following the poor weather conditions over the past week, a pitch inspection is planned at St Conleth's Park, early on Saturday, to ensure the game can go ahead.
Kildare will be hoping to add to their draw with Tyrone in their opening game and that impressive win over Offaly, last time out, while the visitors Derry, will be aiming for their second win in the League, having lost to Meath in their opening game before defeating Tyrone in Round 2.
