Very lucky to get out of that with a win never mind a 7 point win. Plenty will have to be learned. Great shifts put in by Peter Kelly, Darryl Flynn and Paddy Brophy. Doyle, O'Flaherty, Johnston and O'Connor got the crucial scores when the pressure was on. Jonathan Byrne did well when he came on too.

Rory Hickey is a very poor ref, poor for both teams but his failure to penalise Louth players for kneeing players on the ground was disgraceful. My opinion of Paddy Keenan has dropped.

how good are this kildare minor team? and will they beat westmeath today hearing some serious reviews about them

Frankie Lee · 14-07-2013 12:28pm

8 points to 3 up at half time.

Frankie Lee · 14-07-2013 12:57pm

1-10 to 6 now

Frankie Lee · 14-07-2013 1:03pm

2-14 to 6 now. Looking like our first Leinster minor win in 22 years.

Tristram · 14-07-2013 1:40pm

Would be a fantastic result!

Donkeygonads · 14-07-2013 1:55pm

Great win lads, great to see some talent coming through .... Now try and push it all the way to September !!!!

klairondavis · 14-07-2013 2:44pm

Fabulous result for the minors. Really impressed with how this team goes about its business. I presume we will be favourites to go all the way now but I hope people have learned their lesson with what happened to the under 21 team earlier this year.

The senior match was very nervy and it was far from a convincing win. The defence struggled again but it was pleasing that no goal chances were given up. It would be nice to get another home draw. There was a great atmosphere around Newbridge last night.

Juniors beat Sligo 3-14 to 0-6. Not a bad weekend for Kildare football.

Draw is made:

Kildare vs Tyrone, winners play Meath

Certainly not an easy draw, but we're gonna have to beat them at some point. The game against Tyrone is going to be tough but nothing which we haven't beaten in the past. We just need to do in the Championship as opposed to in the league. This is make or break for this Kildare team. Let's hope we can cut out giving away easy ball in our own 45 which has given 5/6 scores in each of the last two games. It's killing us.

HON THE LILLIES!!!

qwerty93 · 15-07-2013 9:15am

Looking foward to this game very much already! Hopefully it will be left in Newbridge but even if its moved to Portlaoise the ahmosphere will be electric! Any word on Ollie Lyon's and Eoin Doyle's progress?

klairondavis · 15-07-2013 9:28am

At least it's at home.

Dubliner28 · 15-07-2013 9:32am

Home Home or Home in Portlaoise? I would easily expect 15-20'000 at this. Tyrone as with Kildare have massive support. Tie of the Round. Can see it moved to Portlaoise tbh.

I forgot the sarcastic rolleyes from my post!!

Charlie Redmond on with Marian, talking about the match.

"Meath are not Kildare, they are not gonna give in easily".. :eek:

Just stating facts. Kildare crashed and burned in the second half in both League and Championship games. I guess that is what he is basing HIS OPINION on.

klairondavis · 15-07-2013 10:09am

As the saying goes: opinions are like ars.....................................................

Tyrone beat us by 6 points in Newbridge less than 4 months ago. Newbridge is hardly that much of a fortress for us! And sure don't we get to put some money in the pocket of the exchequer through tax on fuel.

We might not win the All-Ireland, but we'll get us out of a recession...

Yeah our record against Tyrone is terrible. We drew with them in the first game of the league in 2008 and beat them in the division two final last year. Every other time we've played them in the last five years, we've lost.

ledgebag1 · 15-07-2013 11:24am

It's gonna be a great game regardless. As a lily white these games always have the nerves jangling but I personally can't wait, it's gonna be a belter

klairondavis · 15-07-2013 10:25pm

The publicans of Newbridge will be delighted with another big payday in prospect.

kencoo · 16-07-2013 9:26pm

If your not from a club i see you can only get tickets from Hawkfield. Does anyone know what time that stays open to on wed evening?

Give them a ring on 045 430602. Maybe they'll hold one back for you if you ask them nicely! I don't think there will be a big supply for general sale for this one.

This 7,500 capacity is a complete joke. There was only a few hundred down at the Kilcullen End on Saturday and the stand was not full.

roy rodgers · 16-07-2013 9:49pm

the last game didn't sell out there was plenty of tickets left on Saturday .
the demand wasn't there i think many fans are still deflated since the Dublin game and have lost respect for mcgeeney and his tactics so they won't be going to the match..

klairondavis · 16-07-2013 9:57pm

I know what you're getting at. I got more of a kick from the minors' win on Sunday than watching the seniors on Saturday.
