klairondavis · 22-10-2014 5:38pm

klairondavis · 25-10-2014 4:09pm

Leinster JFC:
Straffan 2-17 Sean Connolly 0-7

Rob Kelly kicked 2-7.

Frankie Lee · 25-10-2014 4:25pm

Straffan could go far in that.

roy rodgers · 26-10-2014 1:59pm

Anyone have predictions for the county final today. Hopefully the wind will die down a bit like it did last week.
Hopefully sarsfields by 5 but I woul settle for one

Nib · 26-10-2014 2:09pm

Hard to see past a Sarsfields win, they have their full compliment of minors and are well rested. Sarsfields by 6.

klairondavis · 26-10-2014 2:12pm

I hope it's as entertaining as last week. I think Sarsfields might get over the line this time.

Coill Dubh up by 7 at half time in their match with both teams down to 14.

klairondavis · 26-10-2014 2:55pm

Leinster IHC

Coill Dubh 1-12 Setanta 0-7

klairondavis · 26-10-2014 4:11pm

All Moorefield after Sarsfields made a good start. 5 between them at half time. Scrappy stop start game which suits Moorefield. Sarsfields will have the breeze after the break but they will have to get something going quickly.

roy rodgers · 26-10-2014 4:23pm

Sarsfields are looking poor alot of dropping the ball and leaving players loose.
Moorefield look stronger and doing alot more running at sarsfields.

klairondavis · 26-10-2014 4:41pm

7 point lead for Moorefield and dominant at midfield. Sarsfields need a miracle.

klairondavis · 26-10-2014 5:00pm

7th county title for the Moores. Their 6th since the millennium. They looked down and out on a number of occasions this year but they know how to win. There are more talented footballing teams in the county but there are none tougher.

klairondavis · 28-10-2014 4:22pm

Anyone know did the Kildare v Carlow challenge in Old Grange take place at all?

paulie21 · 28-10-2014 5:00pm

Thanks. Had it in my head that it was on last Sunday for some reason.

Kildare beat Carlow 4-6 to 0-8 according to KFM with Danny Egan scoring 4-1.

Edit: KFM tweeted a teamsheet as well:

Those jerseys are nice from the front, way too much advertising on the back though.

klairondavis · 01-11-2014 7:43pm

Bit of a shock in the u21 FC this afternoon with Castledermot knocking out Athy. Celbridge and Maynooth also through to the semi finals.

klairondavis · 01-11-2014 7:45pm

Christy Ring Cup 2015 draw:

Kildare v London, Meath v Wicklow, Derry v Mayo, Kerry v Down

Nib · 01-11-2014 7:51pm

Great win for Castledermot alright. Emmett O'Keeffe to the fore again by all accounts. Paddy Brophy's last game for Celbridge before he heads for Oz, major blow to their chances.

Paddy was sent off along with Cian Kilkenny so he would have been suspended for the rest of the championship anyway! He'll be a massive loss for club and county in the years ahead. He had the potential to be a top class inter county forward.

Frankie Lee · 02-11-2014 1:03am

Them jerseys are poor, Tyrone and Waterford will be more white than Kildare's.

I assume it was a straight red for Paddy so? What did he do?

I heard there was a bit of a scuffle between the two lads.

klairondavis · 02-11-2014 5:23pm

Leinster IFC:

Eadestown 2-15 Railyard 0-2

Comfortable win for Eadestown down in Freshford. They will face Sean O'Mahony's in the semi final at a Louth venue in two weeks time.

klairondavis · 06-11-2014 3:02pm

Leinster SFC 1/4 Final:

Kildare v Laois/Carlow 6/6/2015 Tullamore/Portlaoise 7.00pm

Nib · 08-11-2014 4:40pm

Leinster JFC QF:

Straffan 5-16 Thomastown 1-4

Rob Kelly 2-7, Austin Allen 2-4.

klairondavis · 08-11-2014 4:54pm

Recall in store for Rob Kelly? That's 4-14 he has scored in two matches.
