Kildare's 'home' game versus Dublin in the All-Ireland SFC group stage will be played at UPMC Nowlan Park on the June Bank Holiday weekend.

With St Conleth’s Park currently closed for redevelopment works, Kildare have nominated Kilkenny's 27,000 capacity stadium as the venue for their second round date with Dublin on June 3. The sides only met in the Leinster semi-final last month when the Dubs emerged as 0-14 to 0-12 winners.

The Lilywhites will begin their Sam Maguire Cup campaign away to beaten Connacht finalists Sligo at Markievicz Park on Sunday before rounding it off with a clash against Davy Burke's Roscommon at a neutral venue.
