How is the form of both counties?
Kildare made light work of Louth in the Leinster quarter-final, before overcoming a resilient Westmeath side in the last four.
Dublin proved too strong in the final, as the leaky Lilywhites went down 5-17 to 1-15.
Mayo fell at the first hurdle in Connacht, losing to old rivals Galway by a solitary point on April 24th.
They then had to wait until last Saturday for their meeting with Monaghan, with a penalty goal from Cillian O’Connor ultimately proving vital.
Although Monaghan felt unlucky not to have been awarded a late penalty, with manager Séamus ‘Banty’ McEnaney airing his frustrations after the final whistle.
“I thought it was a stonewall penalty at the end and I’ll be honest with you, I think we were robbed at the end,” McEnaney said.
“I thought the refereeing decisions at the end were terrible in two or three scenarios. It’s very disappointing from our point of view. It’s very hard to manage a team when you’re coming up against things you can do nothing about.”
What is the team news?
Team news will be reported in due course.
