Big day for for Kildare minors as talented side go in search of third Leinster title in 4 years

It's another big day for Kildare football as a talented minor side go in search of Leinster glory in Tullamore when they face Meath at 2pm.

The Lilywhites are looking to win their third title in four years at minor level when they meet a Royals side who annihilated Laois in their semi-final clash last weekend, while Kildare squeezed past Wicklow in a thrilling replay in Aughrim.

Team manager Padraig Carbury has chosen to go with the same 15 that started the win over Wicklow, meaning there is no place in the starting side for Muiris Curtin who bagged 1-2 off the bench when coming on as a substitute at half-time in that game.
