Won't happen with current man maybe get westmeath man even temporarily to try gain some life and ability to survive. Seems the doubters were right took meath backwards and now westmeath

The only thing that made that game close was Kildare put 18 balls wide. There was a decent comeback by us, with a breeze behind us in the 2nd half but in the end Kildare fell over the line. Really though Kildare should have been home and hosed by halftime. If that was Carlow, Kerry or someone else with no fear of us that we were playing today, they'd have completely buried us before halftime and battered us into the ground after the break. We were lucky to even have an achievable scoreline to chase. Doyle's freetaking and a few nice scores in the forwards forwards kept us in it. Kildare's forwards and midfield ate us without salt under the high ball and dominated possession. We were living off scraps.

The only silver lining is Down also got annihilated today by Laois and with home advantage you'd think we should take it. Seeing how this team has been going all year though with whatever soap opera is going on behind the scenes, I still wouldn't say with certainty we will win that game either. There's a week break now ahead and that next game is going to be do or die.

Great win for the minors, they topped the group so they get the easier team from the other tier two group (Carlow I think) . Hopefully Dillon Burke is back , they missed him today in the first half especially. Forwards didn't even really click but they're all so dangerous they can turn it on in moments and win games like today. Williams quietish and still buried a cheeky 21 yard free and nailed the frees. Podge and Finn probably our best today.

If this team clicks they can definitely get to the Leinster semi final. Hopefully the county gets behind them. We just beat Offaly who are on the crest of a wave.
