EirGrid Leinster U21 Football Championship Semi-Final

****Wednesday, March 16

Westmeath v Kildare, O'Moore Park, Portlaoise, 7.30pm**

This promises to be an interesting battle with Kildare viewed as a particularly exciting and promising team.

Westmeath were encouraged by their win in wretched weather conditions over Wexford, while Kildare, who were Leinster minor champions in 2013, easily defeated Offaly.

Luke Flynn and Paschal Connell dovetailed nicely at centrefield for Kildare, while Chris Healy and Neil Flynn are accurate finishers in attack.

An early Paddy Fagan goal was crucial for Westmeath, managed by former Offaly boss Emmett McDonnell, when defeating Wexford.
