Dublin vs Kildare

Dublin manager Declan Patton has announced his starting fifteen to take on Kildare in the 2025 Leinster minor final. This eagerly awaited contest is taking place at Baltinglass GAA club on Easter Monday.

The two sides met back in March during the group stages of the competition. The weather on that occasion in Athy was extremely wet and windy. The visitors to their credit adapted well to the playing conditions to register a 4-13 (25) to 2-06 (12) victory.

Reigning champions Kildare are pursuing a fourth Minor A crown in a row while challengers Dublin are seeking to secure their first title at this grade since 2018.

All the ingredients are there for another classic game of football between two well prepared teams. Experienced official Jonathan Murphy from Carlow will get the action underway at 15:00pm.
