O'Byrne Cup and Shield round-up
Reigning champions DCU crashed out of the O'Byrne Cup this afternoon, as Kieran McGeeney's Kildare side marched into the semi-finals of the early season competition.
At St. Conleth's Park in Newbridge, Kildare beat DCU on a 1-11 to 0-9 scoreline and did most of the damage during a lively opening half.
