Nolan to double-job for Kildare

Kildare senior football manager Padraig Nolan will take charge of the county U21 team affairs as well this year.

Nolan takes over because 2003 Leinster championship-winning coach Peter McConnon is to undertake a work-related move abroad.

Mick Hyland will again act as a selector, along with Liam McLoughlin and former Lilywhite 'keeper Christy Byrne.
