Fogarty to the rescue for Kildare

Carlow looked like they were heading for a deserved victory after sub Eric Bambrick goaled in the 57th minute to bring the sides level. Ed Finnegan followed up with his second point and when Daniel St Ledger landed a monstrous free, Turlough O’Brien’s men were bound for a fantastic win.
It wasn’t to be though, as Fogarty rifled an unstoppable shot beyond Andy O’Brien.
