In positional switches Ruth Sargent moves into the centre half position, Hazel McLoughlin switches to right half forward and Lara Curran is now at left corner forward.
While Kildare were winning their opener on Sunday last Longford were losing out 2-13 to 1-8 away to Louth. Although games against Kildare and Longford have been very close over the last two years such was the performance of Kildare against Down last weekend that the expectation is that the Lilywhites should continue their winning ways on Sunday in Hawkfield.
