Dublin narrowly hold off Kildare to open Division 2 campaign with a victory

A FAMILIAR ENOUGH result if hardly a vintage performance from Dublin who began their bid for promotion back to Division 1 of the Allianz Football League with a battling Round 1 win.

It will ultimately go down as an important win for Dublin who, along with Kildare, were relegated from the top flight last season. Dessie Farrell’s side also gained a modicum of revenge for last year’s costly Division 1 defeat to the Lilywhites in Newbridge. Despite the defeat, Kildare were boosted by the earlier than anticipated return from an Achilles injury of Kevin Feely who came on as a substitute.

The Dubs handed full league debuts to goalkeeper David O’Hanlon and Skerries man Greg McEneaney and hit the interval with a 1-5 to 0-6 advantage.Fenton’s goal, when he was fed by Sean MacMahon, was the difference in the opening half with Robinson, locked in a thrilling head to head duel with defender MacMahon, playing a role in four of Kildare’s side points.
