The recovery time from the Kerry game seems to have proved too much for Cork.
Monaghan needed every day of the 13 they got last year to bring and beat Kildare in extra time last year

The Kildare fans seem pleased. And so they should. Leading 1-19 to 1-9.
Have Cork burst into life? Or have Kildare switched off?
Colm O'Neill catches the Kildare defence (and me) napping by firing a free to Kildare net. Cork still 1-17 to 1-7 down #sportlive

It's getting worse for Cork...
Straight red for Kevin O'Driscoll for kicking out at Kildare's Eoin Doyle. The night gets worse and worse for Cork. #sportlive via @Rackob

Cork looking a shadow of the side that drew with Kerry a few weeks ago. The fans are not impressed.
Goal for Kildare. They have stunned Cork so far.
Niall Kelly goal for Kildare makes it 1-11 to 0-6 to Kildare v Cork after 40 minutes. #sportlive

The Cork fans seem to be a bit down.
That was a pretty dire first half showing from Cork. Totally listless.

Kildare leading 0-9 to 0-5. Cork will need to regroup at half time.
Kildare - it's just like watching Brazil! #liquidfootball #lillies #CORvKIL #gaa

Kildare leading 0-9 to 0-5. Cork will need to regroup at half time.
Is O' Connor going off proving to be a factor?
Some concern for O' Connor
A close affair so far

Westmeath simply have not shown up for the second half. Fermanagh and the scores of Tomas Corrigan have been excellent after a nervy first half.
4 minutes to go and Ray Connellan scores from a free. Fermanagh 1-12 v Westmeath 0-7
— Fermanagh GAA (@FermanaghGAA) July 25, 2015
A goal for Fermanagh. Tomas Corrigan caps off a fine display with the score. Fermanagh 1-12 Westmeath 0-6.
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL - Tomas Corrigan pops the ball superbly over Gary Connaughton's head and we lead 1-12 to 0-6. Yessssssssssssssssssss

Tomas Corrigan reviving the much-neglected art of the lob #sportlive

Another free for Fermanagh and they are beginning to pull away. Fermanagh 0-12 Westmeath 0-6.
Fermanagh have dominated the second half. Westmeath have only managed one point so far.
Westmeath have made their fifth change as Fermanagh fo five points clear, Tomas Corrigan hitting another free. 0-11 to 0-6.
Fermanagh stretch their lead to four points. Westmeath really need to step up a gear.
Fermanagh go three points ahead. 12 minutes since we've had a Westmeath score.
But a great score from Niall Cassidy of Fermanagh puts them two points ahead, 0-8 to 0-6.
Another wide for Westmeath, shooting boots left at home.
Fermanagh appeal for a penalty. Looked a harsh decision not to give it.
Tomas Corrigan puts Fermanagh ahead but the score is instantly levelled by Westmeath. 0-6 to 0-6.
Two Westmeath wides at the start of the second half. Wides could be the difference today.
The second half is underway.
The second half is set to be a great clash with Fermanagh and Westmeath sides level. Fermanagh have lost two men to black cards - will that have an impact?
Is a draw a fair reflection on the first half? Should there have been a penalty?
Surprised he didn't give a penalty for that too. #Collins #ODonoghue https://t.co/1qMHtakr2j

Fermanagh level the game going into half time. Westmeath 0-5 Fermanagh 0-5. All to play for in the second half.
Fermanagh finishing the half strong. Just one point behind Westmeath. 0-5 to 0-4.
Ryan McCluskey picks up a black card as Fermanagh hit their tenth wide.
Westmeath opening a 3 point lead. Are Fermanagh's wides going to cost them?
Sean Quigley hits his second free wide. Still level after 15 minutes.
Fermanagh level the game at 0-2 each with a score from Declan McCusker.
First score goes to Westmeath, a point from Dempsey.
And we're off.
Here are the two teams:
Team V Fermanagh. Quinn,Maguire,Gavin,Boyle,KDaly,Holloway,Dolan,Corroon,Sharry,Gilligan,RConnellan,Martin,JConnellan,Glennon,Dempsey

Will Westmeath suffer without top scorer John Heslin? Tweet us and let us know using #sportlive.
The last time these sides met in the Championship was 2013, Fermanagh winning by a score of 3-10 to Westmeath's 1-15.
Will the boot of Sean Quigley be the difference for Fermanagh today? He's been in great form so far this year.
Look out for 2 contenders tonight in the #GAAGoldenBoot race! Fermanagh's @Sean_Quigley15 & Kildare's @eoghanfla #GAA pic.twitter.com/9ovrOx6hQt
