Athy youngsters turn on the style

ATHY may be young, but they certainly know how to play.

The cream of Kildare’s clubs can already attest to that, as can Offaly champions Edenderry and now so do Carlow title-holders Old Leighlin.

With nine members of their starting side still involved in Athy’s domestic U21 campaign, along with two more used subs, Mark Brophy’s charges are true novices but you wouldn’t know it as they recovered from a sluggish start to pull clear of Old Leighlin.
