Do not forget Offaly done exactly the same thing to the then All Ireland Champions in the Semi Final of Leinster that year. They were down about eight points down after fifteen minutes. They brought on Daithi Regan at midfield and were up by about eight by half time and KK who had all day to recover never did. They utterly destroyed KK in the Leinster Final in 1995, although fair play to the Banner they beat them fair and square in the Final

Lilywhite that will be on the opening scene in reeling in the years 2010. After my beloved Wee County the Lillie's are my second team. With the huge population that Kildare have I always feel that they have underachieved. Louth always seem to be a bogey team to Kildare. In 1991 in Drogheda it was Micko,s first championship match Stefan Whites two late goals knocked out Kildare. In 1995 in Newbridge which if my memory serves me right was the first Sunday game live match the present Louth manager Colin Kelly put in a man of the match performance as Louth beat Kildare. In 2010 in Navan another match which was live on TV Louth beat Kildare by 6 points in a high scoring match. The last two championship matches Kildare have won. Kildare are a great GAA county. Best of luck for the rest of the year.

I'll have to disagree with ye here lads , the 2008 Leinster Final was absolutely horrific, much worse. At least we gave a good account of ourselves in other finals, whatever happened that day I'll never understand

Excuses Excuses. Ye were beaten by the better team on all the above occasions you my friend seem to think Kerry have a god given right to win the All Ireland every year.Oh and by the way Declans effort was saved by the Tyrone keeper or was that not supposed to happen either.

Thanks Ollie, You're spot on re the recent history between Kildare and Louth. Coming out of Navan after Kildare's loss to Louth in June 2010 after an excellent performance by Louth I thought that Louth had a great chance of winning Leinster, especially since Dublin wern't the powerhouse that they are now. As it turned out Meath beat them comfortably in the semi-final. Best of luck to Louth. Hopefully ye can get promoted from Division 3 after making a great start. Louth are a better standard than Division 3. If Louth could get to and remain in Division 2 for a couple of years without being demoted, there is no reason why Louth couldn't challenge for promotion to Division 1.

So many humiliating defeats over the years, particularly in Croke. bumpernut (Antrim) - Posts: 1852 - 23/02/2017 11:05:44 1959812 Link 0 |
The drawn final against Kerry in 2000, coming back from 7 points down to draw level with a few minutes to go knowing Kerry were their for the taking. Galway missed some great chances to win that game and if only Savage had passed the ball to Joyce we'd have been looking at one of the all time great comebacks.

2014 AI final for me. After the high of the Dublin semi-final I had an ominous feeling we wouldn't be able to scale the same heights against Kerry in the final and so it proved. There was also the unfortunate mistake from Papa which lead to Donaghy's goal. All of this coupled with our minors aksi losing meant it was a thoroughly depressing day all round.

Lillywhite Brian White from Louth probably had his best match ever in a Wee County jersey when he put in a man a match performance against in Kildare in 2010. Ironically he had a nightmare of a game against Meath in the Leinster final of that year missing frees in front of the net in which he would of scored them with his eyes closed against Kildare. Louth and Kildare are in the same section of the Leinster Championship so I might see you in HQ for a semi-final clash.

After the way Mark O'Riordan was put off earlier in the year, that was probably karma.

Ollie, Yes Brian white was excelent that day in Navan. He wasn't the first White wearing the red of Louth to break our lily hearts. Wasn't it Stephan White who scored that famous goal in Drogheda in Micko's first year- or was it two goals he scored that day? WE could indeed meet in the semi-final if we can get over Laois or Longford and Louth can beat Wicklow and our mutual neighbour, Royaldunnes's royal troops! lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2990 - 23/02/2017 18:18:12 1959983 Link 0 |
Lilywhite Stephen White was his dad who was on the great Louth team of 1957 who the All Ireland. Stefan White was his son who scored two late goals to break Lilywhite's hearts in Drogheda in 1991. Stefan played with Monaghan and won an Ulster title with the Farney men in 1988.

My worst ever defeat too. Specifically loosing the unbeaten in finals tag. The magic of sport died in me that day. Still, they say you can't appreciate the sweet if you never tasted the bitter.
