Yes their last Senior league outing was terrible. A lot of changes since then I think so could surprise a few people.

Daytona, I'd say you're way off the mark with your comments that there's no reason Maynooth shouldn't be beating the likes of Eire Og and Leixlip. They're only up from intermediate and their last showing at Senior level was atrocious. One win in the league this year would be a hugh bonus for them. Leixlip and Eire Og will beat them handy enough.

The league is all very well and good but on the open spaces of croker against the dubs?? I have said before that maybe he can do a job with his experience for the last ten mins or so when closing a game out but from the start I don't think so. We may get away with it against he likes of westmeath.

Backs look solid enough although along with everyone else I cannot see Hendy do a job for us once the ground hardens up and we are playing in Croker, he simply doesnt have the pace for this level especially in the full back line. Happy enough with the other 5 backs, once we get Conway back fit and Mac will keep pressure on the other 2 corner backs to perform. As I've stated before when earley is injured we are in real trouble so heres hoping Hughie Lynch can do himself justice and stake a claim. Foward line looks a bit toothless to be honest, out of our highest scroeres last year (Smith, Kavanagh, Doyle) only Doyle starting. No sure about Rainbow at 11 but time will tell and Paudie does seem to blow hot and cold. But maybe one or two lads that are not playing were after getting a bit complacenmt after last years plaudits and are rightfully not involved in this one. Regardless of results it would be a good league campaign if we got the goalie situation sorted with Flood and more cover at midfield in Lynch and obviously more game time for Kelly who could turn out to be quite an importan player for us

Come on Daytona, until Rainbow starts doing bad lets give him the respect he deserves, fitness is not a problem and he was one of our better performers in the O Byrne cup and early league games, Pauric O Neill played one good game against Donegal so I wouldnt say he is a cert for no 11, David White has struggled in my opinion and he starts so why not Rainbow??

Rainbow?? Fair enough he played well but time to start looking at the future? We may win Leinster this year but realistically the all ireland is another few years off yet. Bit of a surprise about Kavanagh.

Cant see for the life of me why David Whyte is starting. McGeeney definetly only going for his size. Would like to Kevin O ' Neill get a chance to, would omagine he's getting ****** off now training away and not getting his chance. I heard Smyth was back for his first session tuesday night, good to see, pure class act!

Kildare team V Westmeath
1 Paul Flood
2 Hugh McGrillen
3 Damien Hendy
4 Emmet Bolton
5 Morgan O Flaherty
6 Brian Flanagan
7 Mark Scanlon
8 Hugh Lynch
9 Daryl Flynn
10 Rob Kelly
11 Anthony Rainbow
12 David White
13 Eamonn Callaghan
14 Karl Ennis
15 John Doyle

A lot of changes which is no surprise, Chalky and Dermot out with injuries, good to see Morgan Flaherty and Flanagan back, there will be no worries there and Scanlon deserves to keep his place. Its a big game for Hugh Lynch, always showed plenty of promise at underage and now is the time to show what he can do, Rob Kelly should chip in with a couple of scores and Leper gets another game in rebuilding his fitness. David White lucky to regain his place, was very poor the last day, Kavanagh was also poor but was he poorer than White? I still have worries about Hendy and Bolton, Hendy done ok on sunday and is very commited but there is just something there that does not convince me, Bolton mixes the good with the very bad far too often. I would like to see Kevin O Neill and possibly David Lyons get a chance, and its a hugh blow that Declan Brennan isnt around this year, I think he would have made either the no 3 or 4 jersey his own.

Bit surprised Kavanagh is dropped, as I said earlier I cant see how White kees his place and Kavanagh is dropped, maybe if introduced he will come on and prove a point, as will Ken Donnelly. Cribben a bit unlucky too but our half back line last year was very impressive and we need to get those 3 lads back in there although Mickey Conway could be out for a while longer yet.

Rainbow has done well this year and was playing really well against Tipp at centre forward, fitness is no problem to him.

New Crest.
When did you get the new crest in Kildare? Is it this crest that goes on your county medals now or do you use the old one still?
gmac , 17/03/2010 at 21:10

Under 16 winners?
Athy have already been beaten twice by Kilcock and Maynooth ! Not strong this year
lilywhite09 , 17/03/2010 at 12:55

Dismal display from Kildare today.
we were a disaster last week. every team has at least one stinker every year so i hope thats ours. theres still 3 good games left to redeem ourselves. its a pity we are still deploying 2or3 players that are clearly past their sell by date. we have a great draw in leinster this year and id say its earleys last year.

Athy played some quality football in the 1st half against moorefield, even kept them scoreless. Also Kevin Feely was absent. They're definaltly early favourites for league. Championship will be different though.
