Bottom-of-the-table Kildare County will be looking to finally move off the foot of the League of Ireland First Division standings when they entertain Limerick 37 in a rearranged fixture at Station Road on Sunday evening (kick-off 6pm).

Kildare come into the game on the back of Thursday night's 3-1 loss to title chasing Shelbourne at Tolka Park. However, in their last home outing, they recorded their first league win at Station Road since defeating Wexford Youths back in May. County will again have the rare luxury of choosing from a fully fit panel, though the task facing them is not an easy one as they were hammered 4-0 the last time these sides met, at Jackman Park back in early July.

Limerick, for their part, have had a much better season under Mike Kerley, and look certain now to finish in the top half of the table behind the 'big four'. The Blues have netted some impressive wins this season, however, their inconsistency and failure to bury the lower teams in the table has proved extremely costly. Hitting enough rich vein of form, they come into Sunday's match having won three of their last four outings - their only loss being at home to Shels. However, the bounced back from that reversal with a come-from-behind and late, late win over Monaghan United last week.

Team News: Host Kildare, like they did for the trip to Dublin during the week, again have a fully fit squad. Limerick, meanwhile, have no suspensions to contend with and there is no news of any absentees through injury or otherwise.
