Kildare captain Brian Byrne admits that both themselves and London will be familiar with one another ahead of Saturday's Christy Ring Cup final.

The sides have met on numerous occasions in the last few years and there will be few secrets between them and that is why Byrne has stressed that they must focus on their own game.

"It's going to be an extremely tough game; all finals are," Byrne told the Leinster Leader. "We obviously played them in the league and they got the better of us that day, but we'll be ready for them come the final in Croke Park.

"In saying that, all we can do is concentrate on ourselves and ensure that we have everything ready from our side. We'll look forward to the day and see what happens after 70/75 minutes of hurling."

The sides met in this year's Allianz National Hurling League Division 2A campaign and on that occasion London came out on top, which resulted in Kildare being relegated to 2B for next year.
