Eoin Doyle says Kildare's epic victory over Mayo will count for nothing if they don't kick on and reach the Super 8s.

Sheer euphoria erupted in Newbridge on Saturday night after the Lilywhites dumped Kildare out of the championship, but they now need to get their feet back down to earth ahead of this weekend's equally-important Round Four Qualifier against Fermanagh.

"It's a springboard if you make it a springboard, if you get your head back in gear for next week," their captain notes in The Irish Independent. "That's the thing about the Qualifiers, it's week after week. We'd a good win against Cork in 2015 and then the following week we went out against Kerry and we were obliterated," Doyle said.

"So you've got to get your head back in the game and that's hard to do. It'll go back to where we were if we're not careful so you've just got to get back to the drawing board and work hard in training and try and keep this momentum going."
