There's a Christmas cracker in store for Kildare GAA fans with All-Ireland champions Kerry set to visit Cedral St Conleths Park for a challenge game on 20 December at 5pm. 

The last time Jack O'Connor brought his native county to the home of the side he used to manage, Jimmy Hyland kicked a late equalisiing point in Glenn Ryan's first league game in charge of Kildare in early 2022. 

Both sides will see this as a key game in their preparations for the early part of the 2026 season.
