Brian Flanagan has named an unchanged team for Sunday's Division 3 game against Leitrim, which will be played in the Sean O'Heslin's club in Ballinamore at 2pm.

Kildare have made a lightning fast start to the season and currently top the table alongside Offaly after winning both rounds and Flanagan seems pleased as he sends out the same 15 men that started last time out against Sligo, including Callum Bolton who played in the Sigerson Cup final last Wednesday evening.

There are a couple of changes among the subs where Daniel Flynn and Harry O'Neill return to the squad, with Dean O'Donoghue and Paddy McDermott dropping out. Darragh Swords is among them after also playing in the midweek Sigerson Cup Final.
