Kildare pounce late again to foil arch rivals

KILDARE have shown their ability to snatch a result at the death on a couple of occasions this year, most recently when full-back Mick Foley grabbed an equalising goal in Ballybofey last week.

They did it again at St Conleth’s Park yesterday against deadly rivals Laois, coming from a point down with just over five minutes remaining to win by two.

Rob Kelly landed the equaliser and the sides were still level until Eoghan O’Flaherty had his say with two pointed frees in the space of minute to secure the honours and puncture Laois’ 100% record.
