Gavin Devlin has named an unchanged starting team following the win over Derry ahead of Louth’s clash with Kildare this Sunday, 22nd March, at Cedral St Conleths Park in Newbridge.
However, Louth are only in a position to name 24 players in this weekend’s Matchday panel due to ongoing injury issues.
This weekend’s absentees:
- Craig Lennon (St Mochtas)
- Ryan Burns (Hunterstown Rovers)
- Padraic Tinnelly (Dundalk Gaels)
- Conor Grimes (Glen Emmets)
- Peter Lynch (Roche Emmets) *Long-Term*
- Liam Jackson (Ardee St Marys)
- Donal McKenny (Ardee St Marys)
- Ciaran Byrne (St Mochtas)
In good news, Ciaran Downey has made sufficient progress on a minor knock to earn a place amongst the subs. Tadhg McDonnell featured last weekend after he picked up a knock against Cavan and is once again, braced for a big impact.
