Injury woes for Ryan as Kildare slide continues

With 70 minutes on the clock in Newbridge eight days ago, Kildare were five points up on Tyrone and heading close to the summit of the league after three rounds.

Tyrone performed the Artful Dodger role to perfection, however, picking Kildare’s pockets in outrageous fashion to snatch victory and now, after another defeat by Dublin, the Lilies find themselves battling relegation.

Next up for them is a home tie against Kerry on Sunday, which is shaping up as a vital clash in the battle to avoid relegation.
