Meath hold off late Kildare fightback and reach Leinster final
Leinster Senior Ladies Football Championship: Meath 2-14 Kildare 1-16 Meath will face Dublin in next weekend's TG4 Leinster Senior Football Championship final at Croke Park after holding off a dramatic fightback from Kildare in their gripping round three meeting at Cedral St Conleth's Park in Newbridge on Sunday afternoon. After trading early scores with Meath's Kerrie Cole, Kildare attacker Roisin Byrne added her second point of the game in the seventh minute of the action. While the Royals subsequently found the target through the talismanic Vikki Wall and Orlaith Sheehy, the Lilies – who lost to Dublin in the same venue last weekend - responded to these efforts with contributions from Neasa Dooley and dead-ball specialist Alannah Prizeman. Another free courtesy of Naas' Prizeman moved Kildare two points in front, before Meath eventually hit a purple patch inside the second-quarter. After Cole doubled her account, Megan Thynne seized upon a short opposition kick-out and proceeded to release Emma Duggan for a simple 17th minute goal. Duggan and Niamh Gallogly also split the posts from distance as the opening period wore on and Meath were very much in the driving seat when the raiding Sarah Wall rattled the net on the half-hour mark. While a late Prizeman point reduced Kildare's deficit to six (2-6 to 0-6) in time for the interval, Meath reinforced their authority on the resumption with unanswered scores from Duggan and Ciara Smyth. The excellent Duggan went on to bolster her tally with a two-point salvo and the hard-working Prizeman did likewise at the opposite end as the Lilies gallantly sought their way back into contention. Kildare substitute Ellen Dowling also found the range to cancel out a Marion Farrelly point for Meath and this was quickly supplemented by Prizeman's sixth of the contest. Duggan added another white flag score to move the Royals eight clear (2-12 to 0-10) on the stroke of 50 minutes, but it was at this stage that the Lilies challenge kicked back into gear. Complementing Prizeman's second point from play, Ciara Wheeler fired home a 53rd minute goal at the second time of asking. Dowling and Prizeman then brought the gap down to two with quickfire scores, before Meath regained their composure with much-needed efforts from Smyth and Duggan. However, Kildare refused to throw in the towel and with Mia Doherty, Byrne and Dooley all kicking points during six minutes of stoppage-time, the bare minimum separated the sides in the end. Scorers for Meath: E Duggan 1-6 (0-2f), S Wall 1-0, C Smyth, K Cole 0-2 each, O Sheehy, M Farrelly, N Gallogly, V Wall 0-1 each. Scorers for Kildare: A Prizeman 0-8 (6f), C Wheeler 1-0, R Byrne 0-3, N Dooley, E Dowling 0-2 each, M Doherty 0-1.

Dublin smash four goals past Kildare to keep Leinster 12-in-a-row bid on course
Dublin 4-12 Kildare 1-5 Daire Walsh reports from St Conleth's Park NIAMH HETHERTON, CAOIMHE O'Connor, Chloe Darby and Niamh Crowley all shook the net at Cedral St Conleth's Park on Sunday afternoon as a 12-in-a-row chasing Dublin qualified for the TG4 Leinster SFC final on 11 May with a commanding victory over Kildare. After Hetherton edged Dublin in front with a second minute point, her inside partner Hannah Tyrrell found the target moments later to double their lead in the Newbridge venue. Kildare recorded a 1-8 to 0-8 win when the two sides met in Division 1 of this year's Lidl National Football League and the Lilies squeezed in front when a speculative strike from Aoife Rattigan drifted into the Dublin net on seven minutes. Pat Sullivan's hosts established another slender lead when Alannah Prizeman cancelled out a Tyrrell point, but the Jackies were back in the ascendancy after Hetherton (whose brother John registered 2-3 for the Dublin hurlers in their Leinster senior championship triumph over Wexford on Saturday) poked home for a 13th minute goal. While Sophie McIntyre moved the visitors three clear with a fine point, Kildare were back on level terms thanks to unanswered contributions from Prizeman (two) and Roisin Byrne. Yet before Hetherton added to her haul with a white flag effort, O'Connor rattled the net on 28 minutes to propel Dublin towards a 2-5 to 1-4 interval cushion. Advertisement This handed the Jackies momentum heading into the second period and after another Hetherton single increased their advantage on the restart, the increasingly-prominent Darby kicked three points on the bounce to move the defending champions firmly into the driving seat. Pobal Parnell star Darby was then on hand to fire home for a third Dublin goal in the 41st minute and while Prizeman finally enhanced Kildare's tally in response to a Tyrrell score, Hetherton brought her personal tally up to 1-4 with a point on the run just past the third-quarter mark. Dublin's joint managers Paul Casey and Derek Murray used the closing stages of this contest as an opportunity to examine their reserve options and with Crowley helping herself to a spectacular 1-1 salvo off the bench, Dublin comfortably advanced to a provincial decider in Croke Park against either Kildare or Meath who clash in Newbridge next weekend. Meanwhile in the Connacht SFC, Leitrim pushed Mayo to the pin of their collar upon their return to the senior ranks, but 14 wides cost them dearly in Swinford. Mayo's 2-11 to 1-11 victory largely came down to their trusted talismanic forward Sinead Walsh, who finished with a personal tally of 1-4.
