Carlow hurlers begin their competitive season this Friday evening when they take on UCD in the Walsh Cup at IT Carlow.

Kevin Ryan has been busy working hard with his charges over the past few weeks and he is sure to give a number of fringe players a run out against the students.

UCD will provide a stern test for the Barrowsiders as they have the likes of Tipperary's Noel McGrath, Galway forward Andy Smith, Dublin's Oisin Gough and Daire Plunkett in their ranks.

Carlow have been beaten in the first round of this competition by college teams in the last two years and they will go into tomorrow night's games as underdogs as they are still without their Mount Leinster Rangers contingent. Tweet
