All the details for the Kildare and Kerry All-Ireland double-header this Saturday
The Kildare ladies and men’s team will both face Kerry in Cedral St Conleth’s Park on Saturday, June 13 in All-Ireland action
The Kildare ladies have made their return to Cedral St Conleth’s Park in what looks set to be an excellent double-header of All-Ireland Senior Football Championship action in Newbridge on Saturday, June 13. A capacity crowd is expected in Newbridge for the occasion.
The Lilywhite ladies will raise the curtain at 3pm against The Kingdom in LGFA All Ireland Senior Championship Round 2 before Brian Flanagan’s side face the reigning All-Ireland champions at 5:30pm in an SFC Round 2B encounter.
The double-header decision represents some common sense collaboration to create what should be a brilliant day for Kildare football.
The ladies face a Kerry side who will have already had an All-Ireland game under their belt by the time this fixture comes around after they face Tipperary in Round 1.
The male Lilies have their season on the line against, in theory, the toughest possible opponent but there is little left to lose for this group in terms of the expectation that has been placed on their shoulders. It is a free-hit for the young outfit as they get a test against some of the game’s best.
