Kildare's success in securing Newbridge as a venue for their round 3 qualifier against Mayo has set Twitter alight.

Newbridge is the top trend in Ireland as media reports say a deal is set to be announced, with St Conleth's Park hosting the game at 7pm.

The game had previously been fixed for Croke Park but was the subject of a two-day standoff between Kildare and the GAA.
