KILDARE COUNTY 0
FINN HARPS 0
THE top two sides in Division One met in Newbridge last night and it took an hour for the game to come to life. The incident that brought about that spurt was the sending off of Harps' midfielder Shane Bradley following an altercation which ended Philip Hughes' participation.
From the resultant free kick, Gareth Cronin, signed from Cork City during the week, headed home Peter Rogers' dead ball. However, he was adjudged to have been fouling Eloka Osokuh.
The extra man did the home side few favours and it was the Donegalmen who could have snatched all three points. Declan Boyle fired wildly over from 12 yards before Johnny Kenny just failed to divert Rory Boyle's free over the goal-line.
Kildare Co: Russell; Brennan, Cronin, Purdy, Whelehan; Kenny, Zellor, Rogers, Hughes (Kelly 62); O'Connor, Scully.
Finn Harps: Young; Osokuh, Minnock, B Boyle, Bradley; Mohan, Kenny, Lloyd (McGrenaghan 67), R Boyle; McHugh, Bonner.
Referee: D Deady (Cork)
I'm nearly sure it was Ben who headed the goal.
The penny has just droped, we played 5 across the back last night against 10 men OTT. Harps had only 1 striker during the whole game, 0-0 a dead cert from the kick off.
