Attitude pleases Geezer as Doyle lights up dull affair

Kildare 1-13 Wexford 1-11

Similar to their Division 1 promotion clincher in Galway last April, Kildare recovered at the death to snatch a victory they had deserved on the basis of general play and a delightful individual display by Johnny Doyle who kicked seven points, four from play.

Having already secured an O’Byrne Cup semi-final, in which they will face Offaly in Tullamore on Sunday, Kildare had nothing to play for but a performance.
