louth will not be a strong as this year. from what i was told

The one team we did not have home advantage for (God knows why) and we pull them.
Tough Draw but I wouldn't fear anyone of them.
One things for sure we are going to have to hit the ground running, not hoping to peak in August.

I'll just be looking to Wicklow and nothing else.

Absoultely delighted. Kildare are in a place now where they should be playing the best and beating the best. Wicklow aren't what they are, the Leinster championship has shown repeatedly having a game under your belt makes some difference going into the quarter-final against a team that hasn't plated, and besides as Padraig Nolan has said a number of times these Kildare players having been beating the sh*t out of Meath at underage time and time again and will fancy beating them up again, and I'd rather Dublin in a semi-final than a final. You have to beat them all but as for Marty Morrissey, is he as thick as he is ugly. Before the draw wouldn't shut up about Dublin, said Laois are Kildare are still hovering around the top table and Leinster champions Meath weren't even mentioned. Christ almighty. But let him on, delighted with draw!

A fan on the same wave lenght fair dues, i am of the same opinion take every game as it comes , but i still think the winners of leinster will come from kildare/dublin

And another positive, to all the counties in the top half of the draw, was there any other draw that could have had you looking forward more to the new season and summertime!

I think Marty meant to say Laois were hoovering around the top table.

What a line! Love it!

extremely tough draw just to get a to a leinster final, and when you look at the 8 provincial finalists not making the last 4 in 2010, i think the back door is the best road forward

2010 was a once off in that regard, statistics over duration of the back door show if you are good enough, you can go at it any way.

I hope your right TK, it would be a great way to do it beating wicklow meath and dublin along the way

One way or another, great to be thinking of the sun and the championship in October!

thats a very tough draw. One game at a time lads! I reckon that the leinster winners are from our side of the draw however.

I am not really bothered,a few years ago I would of sh*t myself at the prospect of even playing Wicklow. But now I fear no one and if we want to be the best and beat the best we want to be beating Meath and Wicklow and the Dubs. Dublin are going to be strong this year along with ourselves and If we lose to Dublin in Leinster but get to the All Ireland I am not bothered. Again,a few years ago winning Leinster was a dream but now all I care about is winning the overall prize. Which I believe is within our grasps. Leinster has lost its importance to a certain extent. I do think we will beat Wicklow we should be anyway. One game at a time but my eyes are on September and not July. If we lose I know we have the ability to comeback.

"One game at a time but my eyes are on September." Is it me or is there one of the great contradictions there

SSSSH I was hoping no one would read that bit

September? All Irelands don't come in lucky bags, when the ball is thrown in against Wicklow September won't even cross my mind, churlish to right off Wickow, they'll be right up for a game against us, they gave us an almighty fright in Portlaoise last year when everyone thought all we had to do was turn up to win it.
I can understand people been reasonably optimistic with the current Kildare set up, but some really need to keep their feet on the ground.
We certainly didn't get the rub of the green as far as the draw went, but we just have to get on with our lot.
I might have a small few quid on the Biffo's to win Leinster and lay off if they make the final, hardly terrifying opposition in their half of the draw.

dublin 6/5
meath 4/1
kildare 11/2
louth 9/1
westmeath 12/1
laois 14/1
wexford 14/1
offaly 20/1
wicklow 50/1
longford 80/1
carlow 80/1 from paddy power

11/2 a savage price

Was thinkin the same kildarecat...either offaly to make the final or lay it after before final.With louth missing so many for next year i think its the bet of the year.
Although some the louth lads might change there minds after seeing that draw.
Glad kildare got a tough draw,just what we needed to get us geared up for it early on.
