Kildare 0-18 Tyrone 1-16It took a Mattie Donnelly point from the heavens to win this one, kicked off balance from the next postcode as the clock ticked into its 76th minute. Kildare found themselves with an early 0-5 to 0-1 lead that owed as much to woeful Tyrone shooting as anything else. Kevin Feely had another fine game for Kildare and kept them ticking over by popping frees. Tyrone had a wider spread of scoretakers and used a decent wind to their advantage with fine scores from Pádraig McNulty, Cathal McShane and the first of two from Donnelly. Subs: Jimmy Hyland for McCormack, half-time; Luke Flynn for Moolick, 48 mins; Chris Healy for N Kelly, 55 mins; Keith Cribbin for Conway, 61 mins; Cathal McNally for Brophy, 65 mins.
