It was a long journey west for Mayo from Newbridge after they were annihilated by the hosts by 41 points.

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.

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