Kerry 1-14 Kildare 0-11

Meath 0-22 Kildare 1-16 (AET)

Kildare 2-12 Wicklow 0-12

Meath reversed two league results to advance to the Christy Ring Cup semi-final at the expense of Kildare at Navan’s Páirc Tailteann on Saturday.

Kerry manager John Meyler sensationally resigned his post after the Christy Ring champions crashed out of the competition with defeat to Kildare in Newbridge on Saturday (2-21 to 1-16).

A whopping 0-12 from freetaker Paddy Henry got Derry off to the perfect start in the Christy Ring Cup but Kildare were left mystified with the referee as the Oak Leaf men scored 14 points from frees, and had 22 frees in total, to Kildare’s nine.

Late goals from Richie Hoban and Martin Fitzgerald proved decisive in Parnell Park yesterday, as Kildare overcame Meath in a gripping Allianz Hurling League Division 2B decider.

Kildare 3-13 Meath 1-12

Kildare tore dreadful Armagh asunder to cement their place in the Division 2B final.

Kildare enjoyed a goal feast as they kept their promotion bid very much on track against a helpless Roscommon side in Athleague.

Starting and finishing strongly, Kildare got off to a winning start in Division 2B of the Allianz Hurling League at Navan’s Pairc Tailteann.

SEAMUS McENANEY has strongly defended his surprise decision to recall 38-year-old Graham Geraghty to the Meath panel.

SHANE Nolan confirmed his under-age promise by blitzing Kildare’s defence for seven points from play as Kerry got their Christy Ring Cup campaign under way at Newbridge.
