It was a good weekend for new managers around Kildare as the senior football championship got underway.

Ronan Sweeney won more Kildare senior titles than anybody else in his illustrious playing career and his first Championship match in the dugout for Moorefield went off without a hitch. Kerryman Eanna O’Connor scored 12 points, ten frees, without kicking a wide in a 2-20 to 1-6 win over Carbury. The goals came in either half from Ciaran Kelly and Ian Meehan and an injury time strike from Sean Haslem with almost the last kick of the game wasn’t much of a consolation for the losers.
