Moorefield go up a gear in final quarter

MOOREFIELD came alive in the final quarter to stun their Newbridge neighbours Sarsfields, scoring the last seven points of this final to claim their sixth Kildare SFC title at St Conleth’s Park.

When Ciarán Dempsey pointed a free in the 43rd minute to put Sarsfields 1-8 to 0-6 ahead, it looked like the men from the bottom of the town were heading for a surprise victory.

But the experience of their fierce rivals proved crucial. Sarsfields will also look to the loss of Gary White at half-time as being critical. The captain had to depart in an ambulance in some distress andthe manner of his departure, was obviously a factor.
