Kildare and Cavan reach decider

A POWERFUL opening half from Kildare helped comfortably account for Dublin in their Leinster JFC semi-final at Parnell Park last night.

The visitors were given the perfect start when sloppy defending allowed wing-back Matt Kelly to race onto Paddy Dunne’s clever pass and crash a shot beyond David Downey.

Three unanswered points ensued from wing-forward Ciaran Kelly in the next four minutes as Kildare built a healthy six-point lead.
