Kildare and Antrim must fight it out this weekend in Casement park (fixture to be confirmed) in a replay of last Saturday evenings Round 1 drawnÓgame in Newbridge to determine Leitrims opposition. Earlier in the championship Kildare lost to Louth and Antrim lost to Tyrone in their respective provincial rounds.
