Tyrone 2-16 Kildare 1-19Fearless Kildare refused to bow the knee to an Ulster giant that operated two divisions above them last season. But a second two-pointer from Jordan, followed by a neat score from Ciaran Bogue, an All-Ireland Club JFC finalist with Clogher, had Tyrone four clear by the end of the opening quarter. Kildare continued to hold their own in the middle third, but the pressure mounted in the closing stages. Tyrone: N Morgan; C Quinn, A Clarke, J Clarke; B Cullen, M McKernan, R Cassidy; J Oguz, C Kilpatrick; C Donaghy, C Bogue, C Daly; M Conroy, M Donnelly, E Jordan. Subs: R Sinkey for Swords (h-t), C Moran for Harris (65), S Doran for Cully (68).
