No Kildare didn't deserve more

I know a lot of nonsense gets spoken at times after games but the type of comment by Kildare Under 21 boss Glenn Ryan that his team deserved more than a runners up spot in the final just puts years on me.
No they didn't deserve more for the effort they put in, Kerry were simply the better side, more clinical and they opened up the Kildare defence with some flowing football for the goals.
Kildare may well have worked hard to reach the final but is there any side which reaches the latter stages of any competition who haven't worked hard?
Hard work is all well and good but you have to match that hard work with ability.
I hope this season's campaign is a sign that the Lilywhites can become a power again in Leinster but hard work needs to be allied to ability and the Kingdom's lads had it in spades.
