Leitrim topped Group two with wins over Clare and Fermanagh to book a safe passage to the quarter-finals.
Leitrim face Kildare in the last eight, with the Lilywhites coming through in second place behind Laois in Group three.
A four-point victory over Roscommon in Round one was good enough for Kildare. Neasa Dooley has been in excellent form with 2-8 to date in Championship 2021.
Leitrim’s Laura O’Dowd is her county’s leading scorer with 2-2 and this should be an intriguing tie between two teams who will harbour genuine title ambitions. Leitrim beat Fermanagh and Clare in the group stage.
The winners will face either Clare or Westmeath in the semi-finals who meet on Sunday in Tuam.
Kildare: D McGinn; C Sullivan, L Lenehan, S Kendrick; L Murtagh, L Gilbert, E Burke; S O’Sullivan, G Kenneally, C Wheeler, L Curran, G Clifford (capt.), G Wheeler, N Dooley, A Rattigan.
