Ruthless Sarsfields make a point in Kildare SFC quarters

2012 champions impress as they bid to regain their county crown.

Sarsfields 3-22

Maynooth 0-12

SARSFIELDS WILL JOIN old foes Moorefield and Celbridge in the Kildare SFC semi-finals.

Three first-half goals set the Sash on their way as they romped to a 19-point win over Maynooth in Newbridge.

The first arrived after just four minutes and when Ray Cahill scored from the penalty spot with 14 minutes gone, they led by 2-5 to 0-0.

Fears that Maynooth might not register a single score were soothed with their first point a minute later.

But Declan McKenna continued to pour on the pain when he raised another green flag before the game had even reached the 20-minute mark.

It was 3-13 to 0-4 at the break — an 18-point margin — and the result was never in doubt as last year’s beaten finalists cruised back into the final four.

Ballymun and Ballyboden safely into the Dublin SFC quarter-finals
