  5. Division Two: Kildare v Armaghpublished at 15:33 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Netwatch Cullen Park (15:45 GMT)

    It has been a case of polar opposites for Kildare and Armagh to this point in the league, as Kildare sit with two losses, whilst Armagh have claimed two wins.

    The pressure is on Kildare to get some points on the board, but promotion chasers Armagh can’t afford to take their eye off the ball today, with a challenging game against Donegal around the corner.

    Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney has opted for continuity with his line-up, as he has made just one change to the team who defeated Meath last time out - Ciaran Higgins comes in for Aaron McKay at full back.

    On the bench, Andrew Murnin returns from injury to make the 26-man panel but Rian O’Neill remains out.

    For Kildare, Jimmy Hyland - who scored 0-4 last time out against Fermanagh - misses out through injury. Also replaced from their most recent starting 15 is Aaron O'Neill. Luke Killian and Darragh Kirwan come in.

    We will let you know of any last-minute changes.

    Kildare: M Donnellan; M O’Grady, S Ryan, E Doyle; J Sargent, K Flynn, B Byrne; K Feely, K O’Callaghan; L Killian, B McCormack, A Beirne; P Woodgate, D Kirwan, S O’Sullivan.

    Armagh: B Hughes; P Burns, C Higgins, P McGrane; G McCabe, A Forker, Ciaran Mackin; B Crealey, S Campbell; C O’Neill, R Grugan, J McElroy; C McConville, C Turbitt, O Conaty.

    Tyrone will have a lot of regrets because they had their chances.

    After Darragh Canavan was taken off, they had little potency up front.

    This is a defeat that will hurt, but Galway went out and won that game in the second half.

    Both sides were desperate for the league points and the result leaves Tyrone fretting about their Division One status.
