GAA

In Kildare club football, Milltown and Suncroft meet again this evening in the National Electrical Wholesalers Intermediate Football Final replay.

The sides finished 1-12 apiece last weekend, after a dramatic finish at Cedral St Conleth’s Park.

Milltown had the lead late on, before Suncroft were awarded a free following a breach of the three-up, three-back rule.

Then, with Suncroft two points down and virtually the last kick of the game, former Kildare player Fionn Dowling landed a two-pointer to force the replay.

Tonight’s game throws in at half-past six at Cedral St Conleth’s Park, and Kfm will have full live commentary.

Meanwhile, two hurling finals scheduled for today have been postponed.

The Intermediate Hurling Final and the Minor Hurling B Final will now both be played on October 31st.

Kfm will have live updates on all of today’s games on More Music Sportsbeat with Vikki Martin Kfm’s Club Championship updates with FJS Naas: Construction, Agri and Groudcare equipment. FJS.ie.
