Kildare had 15 points to spare over Longford as earned a third Kehoe Cup victory on the bounce this afternoon at Pearse Park.

Having led the hosts by just three points at the break, the Lilywhites took control of the contest once Richard Ryan netted their first goal on 47 minutes and when Declan Flaherty and Jack Sheridan each added majors within three minutes of each other Longford were doomed to a 3-13 to 0-7 defeat.

In Darver, Maynooth University found their goal touch with an impressive 3-18 to 2-10 triumph over the hosts, which is also the Kildare students' third win of the competition, while Wicklow had nine points to spare over Fingal in a 3-14 to 0-12 victory in Blanchardstown.
