Nothing new, I just wish the GAA would create a Leinster B championship to allow the other 10 teams have a competition to play for in the summer.

So much for catching the Dubs early in the league!

Ffs, Dublin have never lost an opening game in the league under Gavin, that's just lazy journalism trying to give false hope. Kildare missed 2 goal chances and 6 wides in the 1st half needed a bigger cushion than 2 points. eDublin also had a very effective containment plan for Feeley.

At least out margin defeat is coming down, on track to beat Dublin circa 2023.

Howard will make it no bother, better than Paul Flynn already. Basquel has great pace and is a tidy footballer but I'd be surprised if he gets anywhere near the 1st 15 come championship with Mannion, Con O'Callaghan, Connolly and possibly Costello all likely to come in ahead of them.
James Doran has the potential to be a farsuperior version of Kevin McMenamin in a couple of years too.

Kildare need to think strategically. The wheels will fall off the Dub bandwagon at some stage.  Kilkenny hurlers won more than the Dubs will and they are shite now. If Kildare keep it together they could start to win stuff.

Well aware of that but a lot more teams were close to beating them early in the league compared to the end. The failure to offload the ball for a certain goal at end of the first half was suicidal.

Hopefully we give them a good rattle next Saturday night.

If Kildare played Daniel Flynn further out the field and coached him to get his head up and bring others into the game he would be a serious weapon.
Or got him to drift in and out.
Serious power & pace but needs to work on his finishing and link play.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Also, Fenton is a Rolls-Royce of a footballer and Kilkenny looks like he put on a stone of muscle over the winter.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

They have to convert more chances. D1 is a good development space

Howard has a long way to go to match what Paul Flynn has done.

Before that late kildare consolation goal Dublin led that 2nd half 2-10 to 0-4 while not getting out of 2nd gear and clearing their bench early, enough said.
Dublin well out of 2nd gear in the third quarter! Fenton's second half performance was as good as you'd ever see.

Kildare were good in the first half, pity the young lad got injured so early. Albeit they did collapse heavily in second half.

Was there (m)any Kildare supporters at the Match?
