Harps were looking for their fourth consecutive league win and started brightly, eventually taking the lead on 28 minutes. Seamus Brown fired home a superb shot as he spun on the ball outside the Kildare area.

A poor night for Kildare got worse ten minutes from the end when Phillip Gorman was sent off after a clash with Matthew Crossan.
