Sweet revenge as Kildare finally get edge on Dublin

Kildare 3-16 Dublin 3-13: A devastating scoring blitz before half-time paved the way for Kildare’s victory over Paddy Christie’s Dublin in yesterday’s Electric Ireland Leinster minor football semi-final at Croke Park.

The Lilywhites advanced to a third successive provincial decider and will face Longford on July 12 as they look to reclaim the crown lost to Dublin last year.

They not only gained revenge for that 2014 reverse, but also a Leinster League final defeat against the Sky Blues in March.
