Other results mean Kildare will play in the Sam Maguire.
Kildare narrowly missed out on a place in the Leinster semi final, following a 0-14 to 0-12 defeat against Dublin in Croke Park yesterday evening.
The Lilywhites led by 0-8 to 0-6 at half time and at one stage led by four points in the second half before Dublin came to life.
The Dubs took the lead for the first time in the match inside the final ten minutes and kicked on from there to win the game.
They will now play Louth in the final after Mickey Harte’s side defeated Offaly in the other semi final, after extra time.
There was a positive to take from yesterday for Kildare, as other results meant that they will compete in the All Ireland/Sam Maguire competition.
They will be 4th seeds alongside Donegal, Cork and Westmeath.
The 12 other teams in the Sam Maguire are Dublin, Kerry, Mayo, Galway, Monaghan, Tyrone, Armagh, Derry, Louth, Clare, Roscommon and Sligo.
The Kildare Ladies got their Leinster Championship campaign off to the perfect start.
Diane O’Hora’s side, fresh off the back of winning the Division 3 league title, beat Carlow in Manguard Plus Hawkfield yesterday afternoon.
The full time score was Kildare 3-12 Carlow 0-7.
