Daragh Nolan, 28 Jan
Kehoe Cup Senior Hurling 2023 Round 5
Kildare 2-24
Meath 0-18
Kildare have won the 2023 Keogh Cup with their win over Meath earlier
today. It was a perfect campaign for David Herity's men and they look
in fine form heading into their respective league and Championship
endeavours.
The Lilywhites looked a cut above from the start and it was clear Meath
could not live with the pace of Kildare's play going forward. Kildare
would run out comfortable winners in the end and this was another
performance to be pleased about for the Kildare senior hurlers.
