Hyland was the Under 21 Player of the Year but looked to be struggling at senior level after a stretch of difficult games in the league and championship. Against Antrim, he was a handful and he scored 0-3 from play as well as teeing up the goal and winning frees in scoring positions.
Tyrrell and Flynn shared the free-taking duties and the Moorefield forward dolloped over four of his while pointing another three from play in a 0-7 scoring return.
Army duties in the Lebanon impacted on Tyrrell's inter-county commitments in 2017 and 2018 but he has had a good run of it this year and Kildare are the main beneficiaries.
Kildare went three clear after a fast start before Antrim responded with a couple of their own. It was 0-4 to 0-3 after 13 minutes but the game all changed after Hyland came on for the black-carded Chris Healy. The visitors went on a run of scoring four consecutive points from play and, just before half-time, Hyland got in on the scoring act.
It was 0-13 to 0-6 at half-time and when the Conway goal arrived, five minutes into the second half, it was effectively game over. With Hyland, Tyrrell, Kevin Feely and Flynn (0-8) all keeping the scoreboard ticking over, there was no respite for the Ulstermen.Cork star tracks down young fan he accidentally injured at Tipp game
