Kildare hurlers win Kehoe cup after dominant Meath victory

Kehoe Cup Senior Hurling 2023 Round 5

Kildare 2-24

Meath 0-18

Kildare have won the 2023 Keogh Cup with their win over Meath earlier today. It was a perfect campaign for David Herity's men and they look in fine form heading into their respective league and Championship endeavours.

The Lilywhites looked a cut above from the start and it was clear Meath could not live with the pace of Kildare's play going forward. Kildare would run out comfortable winners in the end and this was another performance to be pleased about for the Kildare senior hurlers.
