O’Neill pulls out of Kildare panel

KEVIN O’NEILL has withdrawn from the Kildare senior football panel but reports that Mick Foley had followed suit are wide of the mark.

Foley attended training with the squad on Tuesday night but O’Neill was a notable absentee, having told management last week that he would be calling it quits.

The Moorefield defender has been a bit-part player for the Lilywhites in the past two seasons, having succumbed to a number of injuries and a subsequent loss of form.
