Kildare 2-15 Dublin IT 0-9

Dublin IT 1-12 IT Carlow 1-09: DIT had to work hard to see off the persistent challenge of IT Carlow before emerging three-point winners in this O’Byrne Cup tie at the IT Carlow grounds yesterday.

KIERAN McGEENEY is a hard taskmaster, which is why Kildare have progressed from also-rans to consistent contenders since his arrival as manager at the end of 2007.
