Sarsfields 0-17 Athy 1-12: Two behind entering injury time, 14-man Sarsfields scored four points without reply to seal the Kildare senior title for the second time in four years.

A SEASONED Garrycastle had the necessary know-how to chisel out a hard-earned victory over a youthful Athy at Newbridge yesterday, and book their place in the Leinster Club SFC final.

ATHY may be young, but they certainly know how to play.

ATHY were nowhere near their best but they still had too much firepower for an Edenderry team that showed plenty of grit but not enough attacking intent.

TEARS of joy flooded onto the St Conleth’s Park pitch in Newbridge yesterday as Athy ended a 24-year wait for a county title in convincing circumstances.
