Kildare reap rewards as Meath forget how to finish

Kildare 0-15

It was all the more ironic that Kildare should be guided back to another Leinster football final by a manager who readily admitted learning valuable lessons while teaching in the Royal county!

After just twelve minutes play, a rampant Meath had notched up 1-3, the goal coming from a perfectly placed Trevor Giles penalty.
