Is Daniel Flynn injured or not part of the Kildare panel anymore?

On the panel but not making the 26. It's a fair call, his last season of decent form was 2022.

[Armagh18]

Sam back for Louth, should win that handy enough so

[Cunny Funt]

Sam back for Louth, should win that handy enough so

He's a big boost if fit to start.

Two stats on Louth.

They are looking to reach the Leinster final for the third year in a row and have only achieved this once before between 1912 and 1914. They have never won a Leinster semi-final outside of Dublin and Louth.

Meath great value at 7/1. Dubs will be out numbered support wise and don't play well outside of Croker. Kildare will beat Louth. Kildare were 35/1 to win Leinster before Westmeath game. Great value.

[Captain Scarlet]

Kildare have too many if this lad plays well, or we can do this or that...Louth are better now and much more reliable.

Meath will need to go 2 point crazy if they have any hope...but the Dubs will take it up a notch.

Dublin Louth final so.

[Bord na Mona man]

Meath and Louth have some 2-point kickers that could potentially trouble Dublin, Kildare less so, so Louth may be the best bet for the final.

It would be some addendum to a legacy, if Jim Gavin's rule tweaks were responsible for breaking Dublin's dominance in Leinster.

[Blowitupref]

Good start for Kildare 6-1 and 8-2 ahead.

Louth respond 8-6 now. Sam Mulroy 2nd two pointer puts his side in front for the first time 11-10. Goal for Louth right on half time 1-11 to 0-10

Is it only ulster where steps are policed??

[Armagh18]

Is it only ulster where steps are policed??

Only when you've a ref who thinks  he's the star of the show like Gough

We either want the rules adhered to or we don't lol.

Just seen a clip of the Louth goal and not sure if it's a foul on the ball or not, it's not like he struck the ball but rather 'caresses' the ball in

[Blowitupref]

50 minutes played Louth 3 points ahead. Lead cut to one point with 9 minutes left.
