Kildare footballers get back on track

THE Kildare senior football championship resumes this weekend after almost three months of inactivity.

The county footballers made their exit from the All-Ireland championship in the second round of qualifiers, but the county board chose not to get the club championship under way again due to the continuing participation of the hurlers in the Christy Ring Cup and the “builders’ holidays”.

Only one round of three group games has been played to date and there will be two more rounds before the quarter-final pairings can be sorted out.
