Dublin dismantled Kildare’s creaking defence on their way to a resounding NFL Division One victory at Croke Park.

Kerry manager Éamonn Fitzmaurice has made six changes in personnel for tomorrow's Allianz League Division 1 encounter with Kildare in Newbridge (throw-in 2pm).

Cork 2-19 Kildare 0-12

Limerick frustrated Kildare for so long with a well thought out and executed plan, but in the end it was the Shannonsiders who left Portlaoise exasperated.

Brian Lacey could have done without another reunion, just seven days after facing off with his great friend, clubmate and long-time Kildare colleague Glenn Ryan.

The story goes that five years ago, on this very soil, Kieran McGeeney and his then assistant Paul Grimley trudged to the dugout before their first championship game against Wicklow.

Sheamus had the belt and an entire nation’s talent for spoofery was finally rewarded.

Having watched their hurling counterparts win by 44 points, Kildare footballers ran riot on Westmeath to register an equally impressive 17-point victory.

A worthwhile exercise for both Kieran McGeeney and Jack O’Connor as the Lilywhites edged to victory at the official reopening of the Ballymacelligott GAA pitch on Saturday.

Kildare have opted to field a largely experimental line-up with nine players making their first starts for tonight’s Bord na Móna O’Byrne Cup final against DCU in Portlaoise.

A SEASONED Garrycastle had the necessary know-how to chisel out a hard-earned victory over a youthful Athy at Newbridge yesterday, and book their place in the Leinster Club SFC final.

IT should have been the holiday of a lifetime but in the end the lure of a Leinster semi-final with his club Athy on Sunday proved too much for Mick Foley.

ATHY were nowhere near their best but they still had too much firepower for an Edenderry team that showed plenty of grit but not enough attacking intent.

MICK FOLEY is backing many of his young Athy team-mates to break into the Kildare set-up inside the next 12 months.

THERE were approximately 10 minutes left in last Saturday’s round four qualifier between Kildare and Derry when someone in the press box turned to his colleagues and invited nominations for man of the match.

“C’MERE to me player, there’s a circus coming to the Lee Fields next week. You’ll fit in grand up there.”

FOR a long time, this game was moving towards an apparently inevitable Kildare victory without the bite or intensity you expect from games between these two, no matter what’s at stake.

KILDARE have shown their ability to snatch a result at the death on a couple of occasions this year, most recently when full-back Mick Foley grabbed an equalising goal in Ballybofey last week.

LAOIS suffered the first defeat of their league campaign but, as defeats go, it was a good one and they can learn from it.

DERMOT EARLEY will be given until right before throw-in to prove his fitness for Kildare’s All-Ireland semi-final with Down on Sunday.

Kevin O'Neill has withdrawn from the Kildare senior football panel but reports that Mick Foley had followed suit are wide of the mark.

KEVIN O’NEILL has withdrawn from the Kildare senior football panel but reports that Mick Foley had followed suit are wide of the mark.

Gary White and Eamonn Callaghan have been brought into the Kildare team for tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final showdown with reigning champions Tyrone (Croke Park, throw-in 4pm).

THERE are two changes to the Kildare team that play All-Ireland champions Tyrone in the quarter-final at Croke Park tomorrow.

TYRONE boss Mickey Harte has drafted Pascal McConnell into his starting line-up for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Kildare.

KIERAN McGEENEY was in firefighting mode on Saturday evening but it was to no avail. The flames of expectation were already licking at his heels, fanned by his own team’s stunning performance.

IT WAS a good night at the office for Kildare at Dr Cullen Park as they cruised to the Leinster SFC semi-final with a comfortable dismissal of last year’s All-Ireland semi-finalists Wexford on Saturday.

IT WAS never easy to promote hurling in a county like Kerry where football is king.

Roscommon manager John Maughan has made one change to his team for Saturday's All-Ireland SFC first round qualifier against Kildare (Dr. Hyde Park, throw-in 3pm).
