We draw the curtains on the seniors for 2026. It was really poor. We started with loads of promise, new mgt team, loads of new faces and after our first game which was really encouraging even though it finished in defeat things started to go south. We were lucky to retain Div 3 which will be a great place to start in 2027. Brian Flanagan won 2 Leinster titles and an U.20 All Ireland (against us) and now the Kildare crowd are getting chirpy because they are back to Div 3 this year. Eaten bread is soon forgotten. The question we need an answer to really is " Under this mgt can we recover from the horror's of 2026". If the answer is yes then we stick with them. If the answer is no then we will probably be in Div 4 and our confidence really shot next year. There's some good players playing really well in the club league. I don't know why they are not involved with the county. We have a few to come back from injury and you would hope there are a few of the U.20 that should be pushing for places also.
We had a lot of players this year that are not at the standard required and they never will. It's not their fault. I was in favour of this mgt stepping down a few weeks ago but the devil you know is better than the........
We are not a good catch for any one at the moment only some journey man looking to put a decent CV together for further down the line.
Maybe we need to examine what we have in place at the moment and work on that.
