We have the order in alright. We've order plenty of polish for the cup too. Preparations for big celebrations are underway also. Pubs up and down Kildare have their banner up and some are rumored to having a free bar for anyone who can present a match day ticket from any of their Championship games this year.

Sergeant Slash, Galway's midfield will have to really put on a performance to get the better of Moolick & especially Hurley in Kildare's midfield. They absolutely cleaned out Longford in the Leinster final & gave Kildare the platform to win. I'd say if you asked 100 people there to name the man of the match, 99 would have said Hurley - he was immense. If they do get the better of us at midfield though, we could be in serious trouble......
Can't wait for it anyway. Should be two cracking matches. Hopefully there's a big crowd from all 4 counties & a good atmosphere.

Can't see many traveling from Cork, Majority to be from Kildare and Cavan I reckon! Atmosphere should be good!

will be shouting for Galway.Never seen Kildare under 21s play in my life,some boys in here must be up and down the country every night of the week to know all these underage teams from other counties.Fair play to ye.

Galway have some nice footballers, might come under pressure though if it gets physical.

up Galway for today though.

Half time here in Tullamore. Galway very lucky to be in the lead but we are taking our scores, my advice to Kieran McGeeney and his charges: stop doing so much hard running in training and start the shooting practice.

I couldn't be more wrong. Kildare have been more wasteful than any team i have seen before!

Same old Kildare. No matter what grade they're major chokers in my opinion.

Is it just me or was there a lot of blocking of the man who had given the pass in that semi final? I only got to see the last 15 minutes but it was going on all over the field and yet wasn't pulled once by the referee.

Ah here we go again. Good intelligent post as always Matthew. No doubt you'll soon be joined by the rest. Hope you're good and proud of that post.

Well done Galway. Took your scores. Congrats.

Cork 7 Cavan 5 at half time not much between the sides a goal could make a big difference in this game.

Hyped up Kildare team, seems to be a trend here.

There ya have it,Donegal man s post. Galway play some awesome stuff and he can only see fit to give out about something.

It tells a lot.

Hard luck to Kildare. Just wasn't their day.

The odds before the match were ridiculous. Galway had beaten two very good sides in Mayo and Roscommon to reach the semis but they didn't seem to get any respect from the bookies before the game. Luckily enough I stuck some money on them.

Only managed to see the second half but was told it was similar to the first.

Based on what I viewed Galway were easily the better side, Kildare may have had plenty of wides but were shooting from too far out and well out wide. Galway barely wasted a ball into the forwards, lots of quality ball went in and their forwards always looked liked they were capable of beating their man. Galway could have easily scored more goals.

Walsh looks like a cert to be a top player, he's exciting on the ball, great to see a player taking lads on.

Where did all the hype for Kildare come from?
Never seen a U21 team that size, they were huge. Can't remember too many of their lads standing out.
