FIRST DIVISION PROMOTION/RELEGATION PLAY-OFF FINAL/Kildare County 0 Mervue Utd 3 (Mervue win 5-2 on agg):Galway is set to have two representatives in the League of Ireland next season after Mervue recorded a stunning victory over Kildare County at Station Road last night.
Although they still must receive a licence, the Westerners looked after the sporting side of the bargain in some style and with it ended Kildare's seven-year stay in the league.
The visitors got off to a dream start when right back Dave O'Brien beat the one-man wall with his free kick to score after 15 minutes.
Kildare had their chances to get back in the game but were unable to find their range.
David Goldbey made them pay for it on 63 minutes, when he beat goalkeeper Austin O'Neill, before wrapping up the win in fine style when he chopped O'Neill with nine minutes left.
