Four-goal Fogarty inspires Kildare
After a flying start, his side stumbled midway through the first-half against a strong UCD team, but two goals from an inspired Pádraig Fogarty just before half-time set up an O’Byrne Cup final clash with Meath. Fogarty, who starred on the county’s Leinster-winning U21 side last season, finished the game with 4-3 in a highly entertaining game at Newbridge.
“He’s a talented young man,” said Ryan of his match-winning corner-forward. “He’s worked incredibly hard with Barry Solan and Alan Kenny and the other strength and conditioning guys to drop a little bit of excess baggage and he’s moving really, really well.”
