Last Saturday Gavin Devlin’s side were beaten by Dublin in the Leinster Senior Football Championship semi-final but the U20s, playing in their third final in-a-row, were favourites. However, like their senior counterparts, Louth didn’t get going and struggled in midfield where Kildare dominated. They were the better side over the 60 minutes, and deserving winners as Reel acknowledged after the game. “If I'm totally honest, I thought they were a better team,” said Reel.
