It was defeat on the double for Kildare in their All-Ireland Senior Championship double-header with Kerry on Saturday, June 13
A brilliant day in the sun in a packed Cedral St Conleth’s Park was a glorious sight as the fabulous Newbridge venue got the day it deserved.
The occasion itself was however the only positive from a Kildare point of view. The county faithful came away from the day with back-to-back heavy defeats at the hands of Kerry; in first the LGFA All-Ireland Senior Championship Group Round 2 (1-19 to 0-8) and then the GAA All-Ireland SFC Round 2B game (3-22 to 0-17) which saw the men’s footballers’ season come to an end.
A result of two defeats would have shocked nobody at midday on Sunday but the manner of those losses in both competitions was the troubling factor.
