Wicklow manager Mick O'Dwyer will hand championship debuts to three players in Sunday's Leinster SFC first round clash with Kildare at Croke Park. Making their championship bows are Mick McLoughlin at right half back, Dean Odlum at right corner forward and Seanie Furlong at full forward. Both Ciaran Hyland and Leighton Glynn have recovered from long injury lay-offs to take their places at right corner back and centre forward. Centre back Dara O hAnnaidh has also overcome his recent injury problems to make the starting XV. Tommy Gill is a notable absentee from the team, while under 21 captain John McGrath misses out through suspension. Wicklow (SF v Kildare): M Travers; C Hyland, D Power, A Byrne; M McLoughlin, D O hAnnaidh, P Dalton; T Walsh, J Stafford; T Hannon, L Glynn, JP Dalton; D Odlum, S Furlong, P Earls. Tweet
