Is Fogarty Kildare’s knight in white?

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.

Is Fogarty Kildare’s knight in white?

Having seen both Kildare and Tyrone play Meath during the league, I felt Kildare would shade the game. They’d impressed me more, scoring 0-18 against Meath on a night when we played very well, at least compared to the night Tyrone notched 1-12 in the face of a poor Meath display.

Mind you, it was also the night I discovered just how good Kyle Coney can be, with his size, his movement and leadership qualities. He is a huge loss to Tyrone this season, a loss which just may put the All-Ireland out of their reach.
