Cian O'Neill says Kildare need to improve, despite starting the year with three wins from three.

The Lilywhites hammered 14-man Offaly in Tullamore yesterday to set up an O'Byrne Cup semi-final meeting with Dublin next weekend, but speaking to RTÉ, the manager cautioned: "We're still very much a work in progress, but I'm very happy to come out of the group with three wins.

"We started well and the sending off obviously had a huge impact on the game for Offaly. But you'd have to be happy with us in terms of taking our chances after that and we built up a strong lead so that was good.

"The bad, then - the second half. We didn't have the same fluidity that we had earlier on, we should have been picking off scores a lot easier and we didn't.

"So just from a focus and attention to detail purpose we need to improve on this."
