Kildare 0-15 Kerry 2-15, Newbridge

The semi-final pairings for the Bord na Móna O'Byrne Cup were confirmed today, where Kildare, UCD, Meath and DCU progressed to the last four.

Kildare and Tyrone have both made significant changes at full-forward for their All-Ireland SFC third round qualifier encounter in Newbridge tomorrow night (throw-in 7pm).

Standing outside the dressing rooms in St Conleth’s Park on Saturday night, Daniel Flynn made his way from the field, a relieved and slightly sunburnt man.

CHRISTY RING FINAL:

A buoy for Kerry even if it did nothing to lift the anchor that weighs them to the foot of Division 1.

Kildare 2-8 Kerry 0-12

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).

Three minutes into the second half of Donegal’s Division One opener in Croke Park last Saturday week, Michael Murphy illegally hauled down Mikey Conway as the Kildare man attempted to make his way out of defence.

1. Big statement from the eventual winner

Kildare manager Kieran McGeeney has selected an unchanged team to face Cork in Sunday's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final tie.

The calm before the perfect storm.

Kildare 0-13 Sligo 0-4

Kildare 0-19 Limerick 0-12 (after extra time)

The Kildare team to face Limerick in tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC third round qualifier tie has a tried and trusted look to it.

One small step for Kildare, one giant leap for Seanie Johnston.

Kildare 3-20 Cavan 1-9

Seanie Johnston is absent from the Kildare team named to face Cavan in Sunday's much-anticipated All-Ireland SFC second round qualifier.

Nobody expected Lazarus would rise from the dead.

He was insistent on not wanting to take anything away from Meath’s victory but a few refereeing decisions still stuck in Kieran McGeeney’s craw.

Meath 1-17 Kildare 1-11

Tomorrow sees the start of July, the month when all the major All-Ireland contenders like to see themselves move into some bit of form.

Kildare will field an unchanged team when they take on Meath in Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final showdown at Croke Park (throw-in 2pm).

They were very tentative early on, but once Kildare got going they had way too many gears for a committed but outgunned Offaly.

Kildare 0-19 Offaly 0-6

Andriú MacLochlainn has been drafted into the Kildare defence as the only change for the Lilywhites' Leinster SFC quarter-final against Offaly on Sunday.

Winning the Division 2 league title may have been perceived outside of the camp as being important to Kildare’s continuing development but it was never viewed as such by the players or management.

A landmark day for the Kildare footballers and their manager Kieran McGeeney in Croke Park yesterday.

One of the coldest days in Croke Park for a long time, a swirling wind, small crowd, muted atmosphere and a Division Two final lacking real Championship intensity.

Kildare 0-16 Tyrone 0-11

Kieran McGeeney’s calm expression at the final whistle was in contrast to the delirious hoots of joy from the significant Kildare crowd in Pearse Stadium as they secured promotion to Division 1 in the most dramatic circumstances.

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

Kildare 3-23 Westmeath 1-12

Louth 0-17 Kildare 2-15
