Once again, the Cadbury Under 21 championship has given us some great games and a consistently high standard of football.

Now, it draws to a close next Saturday in a somewhat unusual venue (for a football match, that is) - Semple Stadium, Thurles. Kildare face Kerry and the throw-in is timed for seven o'clock. The referee is Michael Duffy, of Sligo.

The rival captains faced off today at Croke Park as details of the game were announced. It should be a cracker!

Which of them will still be smiling at full time on Saturday night?
