Minors had a win in a tight game vs Kildare on Wednesday evening in Naas. They are playing Cork tomorrow in this Leinster league. Good to be competitive with the top teams. Im not sure what happened last week against Waterford. We were all over them in the first half.

Was this against a proper Kildare team or one of these "development teams" that the stronger counties tend to field in these lesser competitions ?

That's a very good question. How strong were Kildare ? It's sad that we always seem to be asking these questions. I had heard great things about this particular squad since last year when they were the developmental squad. Then we had last weeks result v Waterford. Possibly Waterford were or are better than thought, but it was a wake up call. If our lads are playing Cork second team today or tomorrow, how full was our team. I suppose it's too early really to expect too much from them.

This was a challenge game. Kildare were missing their Naas CBS players as they were away on a school trip. We started all the players that didn't start on Sunday just gone. That's all I heard.
