Champs are back in chase

CHAMPIONS Moorefield recovered from a shock defeat to Carbury last time out by beating Round Towers in the third round of the Kildare senior football championship.

Jack Sheedy’s side had five points to spare after a workmanlike performance to put their championship campaign back on track.

It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t convincing, from the Newbridge men as they trailed by a point at half-time before overpowering Towers in the closing stages with four unanswered points. Kildare senior panellist David Whyte was instrumental at midfield for the winners and his seven point haul, including six frees, was vital to their victory.
