Before looking at the cub championship this week, it’s worth mentioning the new football review committee that was recently formed.
TWO weeks before the start of the club championship isn’t the best time to be proposing changes to the competition structure but this is the time of year when people are starting to talk about club championship games so it’s no harm to open a debate either.
IT all looked so simple in the end you’d wonder how it took 60 minutes to gallop away from Tyrone.
THERE’S never a good time to find out your county has got major financial problems but given the events of the last week or so, the news that Kildare has a cashflow problem doesn’t seem quite as significant as some people have been trying to make out.
IT’S hard to escape the irony that Kieran McGeeney’s greatest victory as Kildare manager wasn’t a victory at all.
We stand on the cusp of something very important this weekend and it’s a while since Kidare have had an opportunity like the one that presents itself on Sunday.
The reaction to Sunday’s victory and performance was positive in the main, and rightly so. Some begrudgers – and they are out there – attempted to detract from it by saying “it was only Westmeath”.
Trips to Drogheda might be rare but they can be agonising experiences. It was like a bad case of deja vu returning to the grass bank last Sunday.
Of all the amazing things that Dermot Earley has done for Kildare in such a storied career, watching him make yet another comeback on Sunday was an exhilarating experience.
Well, what a way to win a league game.
