Top of the table clash next week. A win for Monaghan would give us a bit of breathing space at the top.
Before the start of the league i would have thought of this game as one of our easier ones and a great chance to pick up points to maintain Division 2 status. As it turns out, both teams are in a position to push for promotion. Kildare have already played Cork, so on paper, probably have their toughest game behind them - and they were unlucky to come out of that with only one point.
I'm happy we have this one in Clones and i'd be confident that if we get another good game out of McManus, Hughes and Lennon like today, with a better performance up front, we should be able to take points here too.
