Positives all around as Glenn Ryan and his fellow stars of 98 and 2000 set to take charge of Kildare. 

New era dawns with the appointment set to take place in a week (Tommy Callaghan).

Some brilliant games in the senior football championships as champions Athy march on after a titanic battle with Clane; Carbury set up a date with Naas this weekend while Sarsfields put on another show of strength and power to reach last four. Maynooth dig deep but get the better of The Larries.
