The Lilywhites defeated Wexford in St Conleth's Park.

An historic & most dramatic win for Kildare U-20 hurlers last night against Wexford in St. Conleths Park, Newbridge.

Kildare led up to the final two minutes when a Wexford penalty and a point had given them the lead for the first time.

Here's manager Pat English:

Liam Dempsey was again the top scorer with 14 points - his last two late in injury time - the equaliser and the winner:

Kildare will play Offaly next Tuesday in the quarter final - venue to be decided.
