    Portlaoise score a penalty. Penalty taker decides to push over Sarsfields player after, Sash player gets second yellow for nothing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭roy rodgers


    All level at half time 1-02 portlaoise 0-05 sarsfields.

    Sarsfields down to 14 men


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    Leinster SFC:

    Sarsfields 0-5 Portlaoise 1-2 (HT)

    Sarsfields: Sean Dempsey (0-2), Dan Nea (0-1), Sean Campbell (0-1), Ray Cahill (0-1, 1 free)

    Portlaoise: Craig Rodgers (1-0, 1 pen), Gareth Dillon (0-1), Paul Cahillane (0-1)

    Sarsfields will be up against it in the second half just like in the county final. Alan Scully went off with a shoulder injury early on. Sarsfields kicked the first three scores before Portlaoise then kicked 1-2 in the last ten minutes of the half. Their last score was a penalty converted by Craig Rodgers. Steven Lawlor gave away the penalty receiving a yellow card for a foot block. He then got his marching orders after the penalty after Rodgers appeared to barge into him running back after the score which seemed harsh. Sarsfields have kicked the last two scores of the half from Sean Campbell and a Ray Cahill free to level matters.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    Sarsfields 0-7 Portlaoise 2-3 (40 mins)

    Cahillane goal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    Gap down to a point with five minutes left.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    Level. 0-10 to 2-4.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    Cahillane point for Portlaoise.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    Portlaoise 2-5 Sarsfields 0-10

    Sarsfields: Ray Cahill (0-5, 5 frees), Sean Dempsey (0-3), Dan Nea (0-1), Sean Campbell (0-1)

    Portlaoise: Paul Cahillane (1-2), Craig Rodgers (1-0, 1 pen), Gareth Dillon (0-2), Brian McCormack (0-1)


    Heartbreak for Sarsfields. They can probably feel justifiably aggrieved with the red card in the first half. Portlaoise's experience counted in the end.

    Kildare footballers will play Wexford in the Leinster SFC on Sunday 29 May in Croke Park at 2pm. Double header with Wexford hurlers.

    Another game in an empty Croke Park. Exciting..

    What's wrong with Dr Cullen Park?

    There'll be more pigeons in Croke Park than fans. The Leinster Council are slowly killing their own provincial championship.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,088 ✭✭✭Nib


    Dr. Cullen Park would have been perfect. I've never been there but it looks like a fine little stadium from what I've seen on television.

    Bloody sick to the teeth of Croke Park and have fcuk all interest in watching Wexford v Dublin in the hurling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,148 ✭✭✭✭paulie21


    Yeah totally agree. Would rather play in Wexford Park even. At least there would be an atmosphere


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    The two semi finals are also down as a double header for Croke Park again.

    Westmeath/Offaly/Longford v Wexford/Kildare would be far more suited to a venue like Portlaoise or Navan rather than as a curtain raiser to the other semi final.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    U21 footballers play Offaly in Hawkfield on 2 March.

    Minor footballers travel to Aughrim to face Wicklow on 16 April (won't play at home in 2016 at all due to a ban).

    U21 hurlers play Offaly in Newbridge on 25 May.

    Minor hurlers travel to Carlow on 9 April.

    I think the Leinster council are contracted to have a certain number of Leinster football/hurling championship games in Croke Park every season. Since the Dublin footballera aren't going to be in Croker for their quarter final I'd say they decided to put the hurlers in instead and make it a double header.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,088 ✭✭✭Nib


    They should be letting the likes of Carlow and Wicklow play in Croke Park, it'd be a novelty for them and it would attract a decent crowd from these smaller counties.

    As a matter of interest, is Kildare v Offaly in 2002 the last Leinster Championship game to be played in Nowlan Park? Remember it well, it was the same day Ireland played Spain in the World Cup.

    We drew with them that day in horrible weather. The replay was down there as well the following Saturday. We won it in extra time. I think we kicked 3 goals that day. Eddie McCormack scored a great individual goal and I remember Martin Lynch giving a sublime kickpass to slip Roli through for another.

    Castledermot on their way out of the Leinster Club IFC.

    HT: Ratoath 3-6 Castledermot 1-3


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    No surprise. Ratoath had a good team and Castledermot not as strong as some of the past Kildare representatives in this competition.

    Kildare drawn away to Antrim in the Christy Ring Cup first round.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,088 ✭✭✭Nib


    FT: Ratoath 3-13 Castledermot 1-6

    Ratoath's team sheet wouldn't look out of place in the Leinster Club SFC.

    We were senior in all but name this season to be honest. The closest any team got to us in the Meath IFC was 6 points in a game played in worse conditions than today's game. Castledermot did score the first goal against us in championship football since May though. Good crowd up as well following them.

    Dermot Reilly interview on KFM now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,088 ✭✭✭Nib


    Clem Ryan is dreadful. Shut up and let them speak!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    I would've liked him to push them more on the Seanie Johnston reference in Mick Gorman's letter. I thought it was public knowledge that Pat Mangan delivered the appartment lease to Croke Park. Morgan O'Callaghan's response was fairly watery. Reilly is speaking well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    They have identified a lot of the deficits and shortcomings in Kildare GAA but they sounded light enough on how they will address these issues.

    Interesting to see how many of the clubs support them next Saturday night.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,088 ✭✭✭Nib


    €256k turned down from sportswear supplier Kukri. Considerably less was offered by O'Neills according to O'Reilly. A legal agreement prevented the switch. He claims the CB brought it up at the eleventh hour so he didn't have time to challenge it. That's astonishing if true.

    O'Callaghan didn't come across too well. Very little substance over all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis

    Morgan is probably on the ticket to try and gain the support of the hurling fraternity.

    They should have been pressed more on the specifics of how they plan to fund the ground improvements and doing away with the Hawkfield levy - that debt will still have to be serviced one way or another. "There are big businesses out there" and "there are grants available" didn't really cut it for me. I was surprised that Reilly appeared to be so down on the club draw which was quite successful from what I understand. As an annual event it could potentially provide a nice income boost for the county and individual clubs.

    There is a decent groundswell of support building behind them from what I hear. I suspect there might be a few more twists before the convention if the last few weeks are anything to go by.

    I don't understand why they didn't just go on the radio yesterday instead of issuing statements and sending letters to clubs.

    It all comes across as underhanded and rather cowardly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    It's probably a clever enough move from their point of view.

    They were smart enough to predict what would have been asked yesterday and the responses to it. This release was likely planned long in advance last week. The timing of releasing it today helps take the sting out of any bounce Reilly would have gotten after yesterday. Had they gone on radio yesterday it would have been harder for them to discredit these points when faced with follow up questions looking for further clarification.

    I don't think we've heard the last of all this before Saturday.

    What annoys me is the fact that we need an election contest for a lot of this information to come into the public domain and these issues to be discussed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 122 ✭✭Browning


    If you cannot go on radio to defend your record in full confidence as expressed in the letter, then are you really the right person to lead the County Board. What was/is the chairman afraid of ? We have had more communication in the last week from the CB than in the last year. Where is the vision, the leadership, the ability to discuss the issues without fear of contradiction ? If you are afraid to engage in open discussion and get your point across its time to move over. Don't hide in the shadows and sling mud. The CB chairman if he feels he is the right person for the job, should have come forward before now and let the county know what his plan is, if he has one. At the moment its the best kept secret in town.
