Dublin wasted little time in reaffirming their control upon the restart through a brace of early Donal Burke points before David Purcell entered the fray to bring fresh life to their attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The directness of the\u00a0Kilmacud\u00a0Crokes player saw him create two chances for O\u2019Sullivan before another arrived for Whitely to power home past McKenna for the second occasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was of scant surprise to see Purcell chip in with a goal of his own in the 49th\u00a0minute, with Donohoe the architect with a powerful run down the middle and well-timed pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The contest meandered to its inevitable conclusion but Kildare\u2019s efforts were rewarded as Sheridan blasted home past Eddie Gibbons but was unable to do likewise from a penalty three minutes from time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dublin\u2019s next match will take place against Wexford on Saturday week in Wexford Park.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
