Kildare star off to States

KILDARE have become the latest county to lose a player to the United States.

U21 captain Tommy Moolick is set to depart for Boston and will not be part of Kieran McGeeney's squad for the remainder of the Championship campaign.

Kildare will also be without Padraig Fogarty due to commitments with the Irish army.

As a result, Sean Hurley and Keith Cribbin have both been restored to the panel having been dropped for breaches of discipline. The Lilywhites saw off the challenge of Offaly in the Leinster SFC quarter-final and face a showdown with defending Leinster champions Dublin on Sunday, June 30 in Croke Park.
