Trouble brewing in Kildare as county board election battle turns sour

Kildare’s chairmanship battle at Saturday’s AGM is shaping up to be one of the ugliest county board elections of recent times.

After just one year in the position, Ger Donnelly is being challenged by Dermot Reilly, the former vice-chairman of the county’s supporters group.

As part of Reilly’s ticket, outgoing Kildare senior football selector Morgan O’Callaghan is contesting incumbent Mick Gorman for the role of vice-chairman.
