The only game which an Ulster side didn't win yesterday still brought some good cheer to the province with Kieran McGeeney's Kildare overcoming an improving Limerick in the qualifiers to book their place in the last 12.
McGeeney has had a tough season in his first year in charge with Kildare relegated in the league and beaten on their first day out in Leinster.
However, they bounced back beating Cavan with a last minute goal last week before beating Limerick yesterday by three points.
The big plus for Geezer has been the return to form of John Doyle who has been scoring for fun in the last two games.
McGeeney showed a bit of the courage he was renowned for on the field when he made switches for the Cavan game bringing in some of the successful Under 21 side and leaving out Lilywhite stalwart Anthony Rainbow.
The Armagh man is definitely looking to the future and reaching the last 12 of the championship might be just enough to ensure that he returns to serve another year in his three year reign.
I think that unless the Gods smile on Kildare in the draw they have gone as far they can this year but getting to the last 12 means that McGeeney should not be joining the managerial merry go round with the cull of county managers now in full swing as teams crash out of contention.
