GAA releases registered teams for Laois Kildare Leinster Senior Football Quarter Final clash

The GAA has published the registered squads for the Laois V Kildare Leinster Senior Football Championship Quarter-Final in Newbridge.

Laois come into the game with more form than Kildare after defeating Offaly in the first round in Tullamore, while Kildare haven't played since being relegated from Division 2 of the Allianz National Football League.

The stakes are higher for Laois as they must win to stay in the hunt for Sam McGuire. Defeat would see the mean the O'Moore man would not play again until the first round of the Tailteann Cup on either May 9 or 10.

Kildare have automatically qualified for the last 16 of the 2026 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship thanks to winning the Tailteann Cup in 2025.

The game throws in at at 3.45 pm on Sunday, April 19 at St Conleth’s Park, Newbridge. The teams are as follows:
