KILDARE ARE ALL IRELAND U20 CHAMPIONS

DJ Earley on the attack for Kildare

Kildare were crowned All Ireland U20 champions this  afternoon defeating Mayo in a memorable final.

Led by the mercurial Jimmy Hyland, who scored ten points, Kildare led by five at half time but were put to their pin of the collars in the second half as Mayo made a mighty come back in the end coming  up just two short.
