Antrim & Kildare Clash: Survival Showdown Looms

Antrim's hurling coach, Arron Graffin, has declared that the team's only objective is to defeat Kildare when they meet this Sunday in Newbridge. Both Antrim and Kildare are yet to secure any points in the current campaign.

Kildare lost their opening match to Dublin, while Antrim suffered defeats against Wexford and Clare. These matches followed the expected script of McDonagh Cup counties losing to Liam MacCarthy sides.

However, this upcoming fixture presents a significant opportunity for both teams to get their campaign off the mark. While Kildare won a pre-season Walsh Cup encounter, the stakes are considerably higher now.
