Having guided Wicklow to three All-Ireland qualifier successes on the trot, it comes as little surprise that Mick O'Dwyer has stuck with a winning formula for Saturday night’s meeting with Kildare.

With no injury concerns to speak of, O'Dwyer has kept faith with the personnel that successfully negotiated the challenges of Fermanagh, Cavan and Down.

Kildare, beaten by their neighbours in last year’s Leinster championship, are monitoring the fitness of James Kavanagh, Eamonn Callaghan and Mikey Conway and have yet to name their starting line-up.

Wicklow: M Travers; C Hyland, D O hAnnaidh, S Kelly; P McWalter, B McGrath, D Hayden; J Stafford, T Walsh; L Glynn, T Hannon, JP Dalton; D Odlum, S Furlong, P Earls.
