One change made to the Kildare ladies team for Sunday's All-Ireland final

Kildare ladies manager Alan Barry has named his side for Sunday afternoon's All-Ireland IFC final against Clare, and he has made one change to the side that defeated Connacht champions Sligo in the semi-final. Castledermot defender Michaela Nolan comes into the side at wing-back in place of Rachel Reidy in the only change, while Aisling Holton captains the side from midfield once again.

Clare, who defeated Tipperary in the other All-Ireland semi-final, have made four changes from that team. Eva O’Dea suffered an injury against the Premier County and has not recovered, and her place is taken Saoirse Tennyson. Emma O’Driscoll takes over from Ciara Harvey in goal, while Laura Egan makes way at corner-back for Shauna Harvey. The final change for Clare is in the middle of the field where Becky Mahon comes into the side to replace Kayleigh McCormack.
