Brian McLoughlin makes the difference off the bench as Kildare book Tailteann Cup final place
Kildare 1-13 Fermanagh 0-9
Brian McLoughlin changed the course of a dire Tailteann Cup semi-final with his impressive 0-4 contribution off the bench booking Kildare's place in the final.
Conditions were far from ideal in Croke Park with a couple of torrential downpours throughout the game but the action between the white lines was anything but inspiring in a forgettable encounter.
McLoughlin was only on the field for 20 minutes but he still walked away with the man-of-the-match award after a crucial two-pointer helped to turn to the tide with four points scored within a five-minute period while James McGrath put the game to bed with a late goal for the Lilies.
Victory for Brian Flanagan's side also helped to bury a Kildare hoodoo at the Jones' Road venue with just their fourth win from 24 games there dating all the way back to 2014.
For Fermanagh, Kieran Donnelly's side lacked the necessary punch in attack but they could have left just one point in it with eight minutes to play only for Josh Largo Elis' goal chance to be scrambled out on the line.
Kildare will head back to GAA HQ in three weeks where they meet surprise packets Limerick with the Tailteann Cup, and a place in the 2026 All-Ireland SFC, up for grabs.

Andy Moran's shade at recent running of Mayo team as he's ratified as manager
Mayo have finally ended their managerial chase as Andy Moran was ratified in on a three-year term. The former footballer of the year and Mayo legend takes his county's top job after time in the backroom at Monaghan after three years in charge of Leitrim previously. He replaces Kevin McStay and Stephen Rochford as Mayo manager after Rochford had taken over from McStay in light of his health issues. It was a messy time for The Westerners and it saw their championship end early. Andy Moran. Photo by Seb Daly/Sportsfile Mayo have decided top go in a new direction and after his first press conference as Mayo manager, Andy Moran looks like he's looking to make changes. He made it clear that all players are welcomed back and that he'll pick the best available, while also hinting at that not always happening in recent years. 'The key thing is to get the best players in Mayo playing for Mayo, which, quite unusually over the last couple of years, mightn't have always been the case. We need to get the best players playing.' Leitrim manager Andy Moran. Pic: INPHO/Leah Scholes The biggest name this could effect is that of Cillian O'Connor. O'Connor opted out of the 2025 campaign but Moran is hopeful the Ballintubber forward will return to intercounty play next year. It's not just established names looking to be brought back but Moran was optimistic of the young talent coming through the ranks at Mayo. 'In terms of young talent, there's a crop of Under-20s there that just missed out narrowly against Louth this year (in the All-Ireland semi-final). There's a crop of minors coming through that are really talented, who lost to Armagh in last year's All-Ireland semi-final. Cillian O'Connor. Pic: INPHO/Lorraine O'Sullivan 'There's been a few Connacht titles (at underage) and a few green shoots over the last couple of years, which is great to see. It's about how we keep being competitive with the strong players we have and embedding these young players in amongst it. That's going to be the major role for the management team over the next couple of years.' Moran's former teammate Colm Boyle is on the new manager's coaching ticket. Meanwhile, recently departed Derry manager Paddy Tally is also joining Mayo as a coach.

RTÉ to show Shelbourne's All-Island shootout against Linfield next Thursday live
RTÉ will broadcast live coverage of Shelbourne's first leg meeting with Linfield next Thursday for a lucrative place in the Conference League phase. The All-Island derby is a rematch of the Champions League first round in which Shels emerged 2-1 victors over two legs. That win through the champions route afforded them three shots at extending their involvement being the qualifying rounds but defeats over two legs against both Qarabag in the Champions and Rijeka in the Europa leave them one last life. Uefa's draw last Monday week threw up this possibility, once Linfield followed up their Conference League second round win over Lithuanian champions Zalgiris by beating Vikingur Gøta on Thursday. They reversed a first-leg deficit to win 2-0 at Windsor Park to secure a playoff spot. The game will be available to watch live on RTÉ 2 and the RTÉ Player, kicking off at 7.45pm before another sold-out crowd at Tolka Park limited to 3,500. Linfield have never surpassed the golden threshold into the league phase, marginally missing out in recent years. Qualification guarantees six additional games from October to December and the prize-fund rocketing to €3.8m. Irish broadcasters have shipped flak for their TV coverage deficit for teams in European action. RTÉ showed the first leg of Shelbourne v Linfield, with Premier Sports doing likewise for the Qarabag tie. Rights for the second leg at Windsor Park on Thursday week, August 29, are also up for grabs but through Linfield. That's the same night Shamrock Rovers will be at home to Santa Clara chasing the same ticket. Twice in the last three years the Hoops navigated the qualifying series to progress and they're within 90 minutes of replicating despite not having the champions path through Uefa's premier competition for the first time in five years. By Stephen Bradley's side wiping out a 1-0 first leg deficit against FK Ballkani with a 4-0 avalanche at Tallaght on Thursday, they face a gruelling trip to the Azores for next Thursday's first leg. The Portuguese outfit had racked up a 3-0 advantage against Larne before Thursday's scoreless draw in Northern Ireland.
