DERRY 3-15 KILDARE 1-18Despite the sixth-minute sending-off of captain and talisman Conor Glass, Derry recorded a superb win in Cedral St Conleths Park in an incident-packed game. That goal was followed by a more mundane close range effort by Lachlan Murray and once in front, Derry didn’t relinquish their lead. Derry had started well and had three points on the board inside the opening 90 seconds but after Glass’ dismissal, Kildare got on top and led 0-4 to 0-3. A Loakman free early in the second half put Kildare five clear but the game swung on Cassidy’s brilliant strike. Kildare – B Loakman 0-10 (2tp, 2fs), B McLoughlin 1-2, C Bolton 0-2, E Cully 0-2, C Moran 0-1, N Flynn 0-1.
