Divilly spurs Kildare

Starting and finishing strongly, Kildare got off to a winning start in Division 2B of the Allianz Hurling League at Navan’s Pairc Tailteann.

Boosted by a Pol Divilly goal, the visitors dominated the early exchanges to lead by 1-2 to 0-0 after six minutes.

The advantage could have been more but for a string of wides and a couple of fine saves by Shane McGann.
