Kildare beat Meath by six points to finish league with back to back wins via IrishTimesSport
Darragh Kirwan helped himself to five points while the Kildare defence as a whole will be happy to have held Meath to just two points from play.
“We finished with two wins and if you’re to get back to back wins at any stage then it’s better to get them at the end than at the start,” said Kildare manager Ryan who described it as a “disappointing” campaign overall following a fifth-place finish. The game was already up by then as Kildare, leading 0-8 to 0-3 at half-time, struck the first three points of the second-half through Jack Robinson, Paul Cribbin and Kirwan to essentially seal it.
O’Rourke stated that he will be picking a new squad for the Championship with the Royals set to face Longford or Offaly on April 23rd. Kildare will play Wicklow or Carlow the same day.M Donnellan; M O’Grady, S Ryan, R Houlihan; D Hyland , K Flynn, J Sargent; A Masterson, K O’Callaghan; B Coffey, B McCormack, A Beirne; J Robinson , D Kirwan , P Woodgate .
