Kildare side beaten 5-03 to 1-10 by Clonbullogue

Kilcullen have suffer a disappointing Leinster Junior Football Final defeat to Clonbullogue at St Conleth's Park.

The Offaly side won the Provincial title with a 5-03 to 1-10 victory in Newbridge.

The Kildare champions conceded two early goals but overcame the diastrous start to lie in contention with just a few minutes remaining.

A remarkable come back looked on the cards, but Kilcullen were rocked by a number of late controversial decisions.

Ger McNally reports.
