Monday Morning: Tyrone Claim First Win In League Over Kildare

Finished 2-7 to 12 points in Omagh

GAELIC GAMES

The All-Ireland champions boosted their chances of staying in Division One of the Allianz Football League yesterday.

Tyrone got their first win of this year's league, narrowly beating Kildare 2-7 to 12 points, scoring both goals in the second half.

Kildare had goal-scoring opportunities, but were unfortunate not to convert.

Kildare led for the majority of the game, but did not score during a 23-minute spell in the first half, with the wind in their favour.

Here's manager Glenn Ryan on Tyrone's goals:
