Kildare bounced back from a disappointing league campaign, to claim Christy Ring glory in Croke Park on Saturday last. Their poor league form in 2018 ultimately cost them their 2A status in the National Hurling League, which came to a head when their defeat to London in the final group game left them destined for 2B. Saturday gave Kildare a chance to reprieve some revenge on the result of that dark day. And they gladly did so, two goals from Jack Sheridan and another from Shane Ryan paved the way for team captain Brian Byrne to raise the Christy Ring trophy. 

Keith Raymond has dedicated 15 years to the Sligo Hurlers and last weekend his dream came true. He marched up the steps of the Hogan Stand on Jones Road to collect The Lory Meagher Cup for the first time in the county's history. 

The Gaelic Players Association (GPA) is today calling on the GAA to immediately reinstate the Kildare versus Mayo Round 3 Qualifier game to the original fixture for Saturday evening at 7pm in St Conleth’s Park, Newbridge.

The deal runs for three years until the academic year 2020/2021. The partnership between WIT and both the GPA & WGPA has been mutually beneficial to date, with 10 members of both associations receiving scholarship awards to facilitate their participation in the exclusive suite of Graduate Business programmes at WIT.
