KILDARE PRESERVED THEIR place in Division 1B after defeating Carlow today, while Laois clinched promotion after picking up their fifth win in Division 2.
Brian Dowling’s Kildare held a 0-17 to 0-8 lead at half-time against Carlow and second-half goals from Daire Guerin, Cathal McCabe, and Muiris Curtin helped put a seal on their nine-point victory.
Paddy Boland raised a green flag for Carlow in the second half while Marty Kavanagh finished with six points as the Barrowsiders tried to mount a second-half comeback.

David Williams hit 1-10 for Westmeath in their narrow victory over Derry.
