He finished with 1-2 overall at O’Connor Park while Michael Bannigan and Jack McCarron blasted three crucial points each in front of 7,893. Daniel Flynn was a late addition to the published Kildare team, along with last week’s matchwinner Kevin Feely, and moved immediately to the edge of the square. Monaghan got a giant boost in the fifth minute when McCarthy netted, Stephen O’Hanlon setting him clear down the left channel. McCarthy still had plenty to do but outpaced Eoin Doyle before blasting a low shot beyond Mark Donnellan.
