Brian Flanagan's men take on The Lake County at 2pm on Sunday, May 3 in Glenisk O'Connor Park, Tullamore with the game to be streamed live on GAA+

Kildare face Westmeath at 2pm on Sunday, May 3 in Glenisk O'Connor Park, Tullamore with their Leinster Senior Football Championship semi-final meeting to be streamed live on GAA+.

Monaghan official Martin McNally will take charge of this final four encounter with extra-time and winner on the day prvisions applied.

Westmeath have been scoring goals in recent times. They hit 5-25 against Longford – 5-23 of that from open play – while against Meath they put another impressive scoring display with 4-18, you can’t get much better score lines than that.

The main scorers in those games? Luke Loughlin, Sam McCartan, Shane Corcoran, not forgetting Brendon Kelly.

No doubt Westmeath will head to Tullamore on Sunday full of confidence, full of hope and a belief that can make it to the final.

For Kildare they now find themselves in a place most felt was not achievable not too long ago.

It is certainly all to play for, most call it an even-money game, not a whole lot between them but if Kildare can break even in midfield, get on top for the breaking ball and keep the likes of Ray Connellan, Luke Loughlin and a few others quiet, a Leinster final is certainly not beyond them.
