KILDARE HAVE moved to address the high free count against them in the Leinster football championship win over Wexford by bringing in the referee from that night to help them keep their tackling within the rules.

Kildare manager Kieran McGeeney was critical of some of Cormac Reilly’s decisions on the night of their Leinster quarter-final victory in Dr Cullen Park.

Having looked at the video subsequently however, McGeeney and selectors Paul Grimley and Niall Carew have accepted the concession of frees is an area they need to tighten up on and so invited the Meath official to take a training game involving the panel on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Carew confirmed Kildare had no injury worries ahead of Saturday night’s Leinster semi-final against Laois in Tullamore.

“We’re in good nick now with a full squad to pick from.

“We’ve had some injuries this year and people have come in and done well.

“Mikey Conway and Kevin O’Neill are both back to full fitness.

“They are good players but the defence has been very strong and it won’t be easy to get into the team after two good wins.”
