Defeat not an option as Kildare grind it out
Much more of this and we can start setting our clocks by this Kildare team. They get bundled out of Leinster. They rip through the qualifiers. They reach an All-Ireland quarter-final. Four years, four identical scripts.
It’s an achievement worth dwelling on a tad longer. Most counties find it difficult to raise themselves for one solitary charge through the qualifiers. Kildare have gritted their teeth and slogged those hard yards time and again since 2008.
