Wicklow and Kildare played out a thrilling draw in their Electric Ireland Leinster Minor Football Championship semi-final in Newbridge on Sunday.

After the game finished level in normal time - 2-9 to 1-12 - the game went to extra-time. Even an extra 20 minutes could not separate the two sides.

It had looked like Kildare were heading for victory when Aaron Kennedy forced the green flag to be raised, extending his side's lead to four points with four minutes left on the clock.
