Gaelic Games

Naas are out of the Leinster Club Senior Championship.

Yesterday they were beaten by current champions Kilmacud Crokes, 3-14 to 0-14 at the quarter-final stage – a repeat of last year’s final.

Here’s Naas’ manager Joe Murphy take on the loss:

Crokes will now face Portarlington in the semi finals.

The Laois Champions cruised to a 3-19 to 0-09 win over Palatine of Carlow.

Overall it was a disappointing weekend for Kildare clubs.

Both Ballyteague & Straffan lost their quarter-final games on Saturday.

Ballyteague fell to Dunshaughlin of Meath in the Intermediate quarter-final - finishing 2-19 to 0-10.

Straffan also lost their Junior quarter-final to Clonmore of Carlow - with the final score 3-05 to 0-8.

This morning’s ‘Kildare Today’ will review the weekend’s games from 10.45am, with Ger McNally.

Soccer

Arsenal are back on top of the Premier League table after yesterday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

The Gunners secured the bragging rights over their London rivals after Gabriel's header in the second half was enough to secure all three points.

Liverpool held on to beat Tottenham 2-1 thanks to a double from Mo Salah.

That result leaves Antonio Conte's side in fourth place while the Reds are in 8th.
