The last time Kildare and Mayo met in the Championship commentators had plummy English accents

We are getting close to throw-in on the final football qualifier of the evening.

Kildare will be looking to make it a clean sweep of away wins after victories for Derry, Clare and Longford. However they face a tough task in Castlebar against a Mayo side desperately seeking the performance that will kick-start their first season under Stephen Rochford. Kildare bounced back from their defeat to Westmeath in the Leinster SFC semi-final last weekend with a win over Offaly, but Mayo's stuttering comeback against Fermanagh left many out West with more questions than answers. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_GAA/status/754348934877904900 Throw-in here at Elvery Sports MacHale Park is at 7pm for a fixture that has been a long time coming. The last time Mayo and Kildare faced each other in the Championship the Irish Republic did not exist, Adolf Hitler was ruler of the Germany and the blanket defence was unheard of. You have to go all the way back to 1934 for the last time these counties played, in an All-Ireland semi-final in Croke Park. On the wonderful British Pathé commentary you can hear the commentator, with that classic newsreel accent, telling us that Mayo looked the fitter of two well-prepared teams and Kildare were 2-2 to 0-3 ahead at half-time before running out 2-6 t0 0-7 winners. "The day of real rejoicing" would come after the final but, alas, the Lilywhites lost out to Cavan. The last of Kildare's four All-Irelands came in 1928.
