Brian Flanagan admits Kildare feared another Croke Park collapse before late surge sinks Fermanagh
Brian Flanagan says even he was starting to wonder if the Croke Park curse was a real thing for Kildare. 2 Kildare saw off Fermanagh in the Tailteann Cup semi-finals 2 Kildare manager Brian Flanagan he was starting to wonder if the Croke Park curse was a real thing for his side Sub Brian McLoughlin changed the game when he came on early in the second-half, blasting five crucial points. And James McGrath set the seal on a slightly flattering seven-point win with his third goal in a row late on. The scores were tied at 0-8 apiece after 55 minutes and no Kildare fan in the 13,960 crowd was taking anything for granted at that stage. The Leinster semi-finalists had lost their previous five games at Croke Park - and have a poor record generally there over the last 15 years. READ MORE ON GAA They created 32 scoring chances overall but wasted four goal opportunities and drilled 14 wides - leaving Flanagan wondering if another Croker choker was occurring. He said: "I said after the quarter-final win that every team has their challenges and, look, there was a bit made out of our recent history in Croke Park. "The reality is you don't talk about those things when you're developing a new group because in many ways it's irrelevant to us. "But as that game went on, 15 or 20 minutes in, you were thinking, 'Maybe there is something in this, I don't know'. Most read in Golf "So winning became even more important than at that point, so you could throw the shackles off in the future when we come back here." Kildare will be favourites for next month's final and will receive a golden ticket to the 2026 All-Ireland SFC if they can win again at Croker. 'Just in time for Father's Day' - Dublin GAA legends welcome the birth of precious baby daughter Flanagan will have a selection headache because McLoughlin, who struck 1-2 at Croke Park in the 2018 All-Ireland U-20 final win, will feel he has done enough to start. McLoughlin was named Man of the Match despite being on the pitch less than 30 minutes. Attacker Neil Flynn is back in the squad too while versatile half-forward Callum Bolton should be fit again and Jimmy Hyland could yet make it too after calf/Achilles trouble. Flanagan said: "When Brian is in his stride, he's a very good striker of the ball. That's what we were bringing him in to do. "We spoke a lot during the week about our bench having an impact, not just coming in to see a game out but actually impacting the game and he certainly did that." It was a forgettable first 50 minutes or so with Kildare 0-7 to 0-6 up at half-time. Spells of torrential rain left both sets of players soaked and contributed to an error prone spectacle. That explained a lot of the wides and handling errors, while neither side really got their kicking games going. Colm Dalton, Kevin Feely, Tommy Gill and Daniel Flynn all failed to convert decent Kildare goal chances - leaving Flanagan fearing the worst. But McLoughlin was a game changer when he came on and the goal Fermanagh needed in response never arrived. Fermanagh manager Kieran Donnelly said: "Conditions were hard on the players. With us being a mobile team and a young team, it didn't help us on a day like that. We haven't played in those conditions all year." Kildare 1-13 Fermanagh 0-9 Kildare: C Burke; H O'Neill, M Dempsey, K Flynn; B Byrne, D Hyland, J McGrath 1-0; K Feely 0-2, tp, B Gibbons; T Gill, A Beirne 0-1, C Dalton 0-2; R Sinkey, D Kirwan 0-1, D Flynn 0-2.

Brian McLoughlin steps off bench to send lacklustre Kildare in Tailteann semi-final
Tailteann Cup semi-final: Kildare 1-13 (1-2-9) Fermanagh 0-9 (0-0-9) A fine display of shooting from Brian McLoughlin illuminated a Tailteann Cup semi-final that otherwise gave the viewing public flashbacks of the old sport of Gaelic football, the one that we all thought had been left behind. For a Kildare side that hadn't won in Croke Park since the 2022 Leinster Championship, recording just three wins in 23 games here since 2014, the underwhelming manner of the victory will be less memorable than the sense of relief at safely negotiating a hurdle that began to look increasingly hazardous as the contest progressed. There was no stage in the game when Fermanagh looked like the better side, but as the misses racked up, a group that have been pigeonholed as talented but unreliable was leaving a plucky underdog in the game. In the first half, it was missed goal chances that were the story. Kevin Feely slipped a pass to Colm Dalton, whose shot was blocked on the line by Ronan McCaffrey, then Feely himself crashed a thunderbolt of a shot off the woodwork, a few minutes before Daniel Flynn clipped a shot over the bar from 20 metres out when it looked like he might be in a position to advance on goal. With the heavens opening and handling increasingly difficult, it's not like Fermanagh were scoring freely either. Conor Love (two), Darragh McGurn and Ryan Lyons all took advantage of the drier ground to leave the game deadlocked at 0-4 each and warming up nicely with 15 minutes played, but as heavy rain drenched the players, the scores dried up. Alex Beirne and Joe McDade got the best of the scores to leave it 0-7 to 0-6 in Kildare's favour at half-time, and a poor game got even more sloppy after half-time, with just another point apiece registered in the next 15 minutes. For Fermanagh, a lack of possession was the issue, while Kildare had plenty of opportunities, but weren't long about adding ten second half wides to the four they shot in the opening 35 minutes. Enter McLoughlin to give an injection of attacking quality to a game where it was sorely lacking otherwise. The eventual man of the match got off the mark with a powerful strike at the end of a slow build up that saw Fermanagh lose their concentration and leave him wide open, then on the next attack he opted to rifle the ball over the bar rather than go for goal after being put through by a slick give and go with David Hyland. McLoughlin's decision to just put something on the board made sense when he followed up with a majestic two-pointer, and now Fermanagh needed a lifeline. Jonathan Cassidy picking up a breaking ball and driving through to set up Josh Largo Ellis was that lifeline, but instead of keeping the ball down along the slick surface, he fired his shot a foot over the crossbar, and that was as good as it got for the Erne men. Kildare continued to control the ball from then on, with McLoughlin adding one more point before James McGrath finished the game with a flourish, firing in his third goal in as many games to send the Lily Whites through to a final clash with Limerick. Scorers for Kildare: B McLoughlin 0-5 (1tp), J McGrath 1-0, K Feely 0-2 (tp), C Dalton 0-2, D Flynn 0-2, A Beirne 0-1, D Kirwan 0-1.
