Dublin relishing second bite of the cherry

WITH half time approaching in last week’s drawn Leinster MFC final, Dublin looked certainties to win their 29th title at this level and first since 2003.

Leading by six points they were dominating midfield thanks to the influence of Eoghan Keogh and with Gary Sweeney causing havoc from centre-forward, it was all going so well for Cyril Kevlihan’s side.

But Padraig Fogarty’s goal just before the break halved the advantage and Kildare pulled level within minutes of the resumption.
