Defending champions Naas produced a comeback for the ages in Newbridge on Sunday to see off Sarsfields and reach the Kildare SFC semi-finals. 

Trailing by six points at half-time, Naas made a good start to the second half by scoring four points in a row but just as they were getting back into the game they were reduced to 14 men when talismanic forward Darragh Kirwan was shown a second yellow card in the 38th minute.
