U-21 All Ireland Semi Final: Kildare 1-10 Down 0-10
Kildare qualified for their first Cadbury's All-Ireland Under-21 football final since 1976 thanks to a hard earned three-point win over Down at Páirc Tailteann, Navan.

A 26th-minute Gavin Smullen goal was the crucial score, although Down held a 0-07 to 1-03 interval lead.

The sides were level on three occasions in the third quarter.

Kildare then took the lead for the first time since the seventh minute thanks to a point from Joe Cocoman and they held momentum until the end.

FOOTBALL: Down 4-13 1-15 Limerick

Down netted four goals as they returned to winning ways against Limerick in Sunday's Division Three match at Newry.

Aidan Carr drilled in a penalty after Benny Coulter had been upended by John Galvin in the 18th minute.

Coulter then squared the ball to set up Daniel Hughes for the second goal while corner-forward John Clarke netted twice in the second half.

Limerick ended with 14 men as Thomas Cahill was shown a straight red card following a clash with Jack Lynch.

"The penalty gave us a bit of breathing space and we went on to play some good football," said Down manager Ross carr.

"A lot was made of our defeat last Sunday and we were more disappointed than anyone.

"We worked hard in training and got the result today."

NFL: LOUTH 2-10 DOWN 1-14
After leaking two goals, Down came good to steal a one-point win over Louth at Drogheda this afternoon. Late points from Ronan Murtagh, John Clarke and substitute Paul McComiskey helped the visitors claim this hard-earned win.

Substitute Jamie Carr netted to steer Louth into a 1-04 to 0-03 lead, but Down battled back thanks to Kevin McKernan's penalty kick. Louth once again gained control on the restart until Down's late trio of points saw them secure back-to-back wins.
