Kildare v Down

[eyeswideopen]

Kildare very impressive today after a poor start and surely go into the semi a slight favorites.
Down have now lost all elements of surprise and will not be taken lightly.
I would rather travel to Dublin in hope rather than expectation.
How does everyone see this game??

Very impressive second half from Kildare, but Meath were equally unimpressive. Down play a different type of game, will win more ball in the central areas, and present a bigger scoring threat. Kildare have  two forwards who present a serious threat, if they are limited in opportunities, Down will win

Down have started very well in the last two games and Kildare have been slow to start in their last locka games...twill be interesting....more later..

ps I hope Dermot Earley hasnt got a serious injury....just enough to keep him out of action until 30th August

Should be a close game. I think Down have the better forward unit with greater pace. But Kildare are very fit side and never give up. I think Meath were quite poor today and Kildare will find Down a much tougher proposition. Down to win by 3.
