Holders Athy set up Carbury date

2011 champions Athy booked their place in the Kildare SFC semi-finals thanks to a 0-10 to 0-7 victory against Moorefield on Saturday.

Despite dominating, Athy’s poor finishing made this game a lot closer than it should have been. The champions had five wides in the first 15 minutes and the sides were level at half-time at 0-5 apiece.

The third quarter belonged to Athy but they couldn’t convert their dominance on the scoreboard and they kicked another six wides before eventually finding the target in the 44th minute.
