Quotes Corner:

Kildare legend and selector John Doyle:

“Do we think on our day that we can challenge anyone in Leinster? Absolutely and I think if we didn’t we are in a poor position.

“In Kildare the structures are good, club football is good and I have been involved in a lot of stuff that happens at underage. Young lads are mad to play football for Kildare and that goes right the way from Under-14s right through to 20s.

“We held under-15 trials and we had over 180 kids coming in mad to play football for Kildare and that is a huge, huge benefit that many other counties don’t have and it is a strong position to be in so I think it is up to the other counties to try and get themselves up to Dublin.

“Lookit, we can go into finances and all that comes with that but our job is to put the best 15 Kildare players out to perform at the best to take on any team in Leinster or beyond and I think, and maybe some people will say I have blind loyalty, I certainly think Kildare on their day will be a match for anybody.”
