There was an insane finish to the Kildare v Wicklow game at O'Moore Park in Portlaoise as Jack Sargent fisted over from close range to take the Lilywhites into the Leinster semi-final. Kildare were leading by three points as the clock ticked into injury time, only for Wicklow to be awarded a penalty for an Eoin Doyle drag on Kevin Quinn. Oisin McGraynor converted to make it Kildare 0-15 Wicklow 1-12 but that wasn't to be the end of it.
