Brian Dowling has named a 35-man squad for the 2026 season. 

It sees eight clubs represented with unsurprisingly Naas leading the way with 12 players. 

After losing their opening league game of the Division 1B season last week to Dublin, Kildare will be looking to get up and running when they face Antrim on Sunday in Cedral St Conelths Park.
