I would be very disappointed if this were true. I recently saw laochra gael with sambo mcnaughton from Antrim on it and it put into perspective some of what Ulster gaels had to endure just to play the game. I'd have great time for anyone playing and promoting the games up in ulster.

Joe Mcdonagh Cup 2022 - 2 Like(s)
Replying To Onion Breath: "Tough on Carlow after getting the win they needed but margins are very tight in this competition. It's a fantastic competition it has to be said. It must be doing the counties good to play such ferociously competitive matches week after week in this. With Laois or Westmeath coming down and most likely Kildare coming up, or Kerry or Antrim staying in it it's a mouth watering competition for next year. Be nice if RTE could show a live game in it each week. The start times on Saturday afternoons would allow it. Good to give it more profile." I'd agree fully with that. It's an excellent competition which doesn't get the recognition it deserves and maybe by showing at least a couple of games on TV it would help kids in our counties aspire to play the game.

Good post. I think kildare were ahead in the betting with only Down ranked lower than carlow going into the joe mcd. I believe we have a chance on Saturday if the lads play to their ability and like you said bring that intensity to the game. Its a very difficult task, Dublin were unlucky not to beat galway the last day out. Hopefully we can stun the hurling world. Them lads have done the carlow jersey proud. Hopefully there will be a massive carlow crowd at it to roar them on. Ceatharlach Abu!

Transfer System - 2 Like(s)
I'd agree that improved coaching in so called weaker counties is important and playing cross county games in kilkenny has definitely been a great help to carlow clubs. Imo the biggest problem for carlow is lack of clubs. For a small county we have large areas with no hurling. I noticed tullow aren't playing underage anymore which I can't understand given the size of the town. I think a transfer system would not solve much but somehow getting non traditional areas to embrace the game would be more beneficial although very difficult.

I don't mind what odds Carlow are. Bookies don't win hurling matches, hurlers do. If Carlow turn up and perform as they can I believe they will win. Ceatharlach Abu!

Hurling In A Different County - 2 Like(s)
Replying To liam500: "Interesting. I wonder is this just happening and the GAA are turning a blind eye to the rule as it's only kids? So in our case, I just ignore it and the kid continues as he is..." Well I'm going to continue to bring him to hurling with the club until I'm told different. As I said it's a ridiculous situation that I can bring him to play rugby or any other sport and there's no issue, but bring him hurling and the gaa want to stop him! The organisation needs a dose of common sense at times.

Thanks sponger. We're up against it in both games but it's great to be there. Here's hoping for at least one positive result, either way both teams have done the jersey proud this summer. Ceatharlach Abu!

Great weekend for carlow. They have done the county proud. I must admit I was sceptical of the footballers chances but glad to be proved wrong! Hurlers were excellent again yesterday regardless of the offaly team sent out. Well done to both teams. Ceatharlach Abu!

Allow Christy Ring Cup Winner Enter The All-Ireland? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To oneoff: "It took Offaly two attempts to win the Christy Ring so they weren't obviously too strong the first year. Kildare are only in recent years after getting back on track and obviously haven't been strong enough to stay in the McDonagh cup.
Carlow had dropped back down to the Christy Ring in recent years and whst did they do? Regrouped win it and then won the McDonagh cup. In your system they should have just been left in the McDonagh cup." Carlow never slipped down to the Christy Ring, it was was preceeded the McDonagh Cup. Carlow were the first winners of the McDonagh. I don't disagree with your point but just wanted to clarify that.

Delighted to get the win in Ballycran, always a difficult place to go. Massive game for Carlow next Saturday. I don't think offaly will be taking it lightly either so carlow will have to bring their A game. Kerry and Laois still very much in the reckoning. Should make for a great evening of hurling. Here's hoping for a carlow win.

Donal og cusack and Jackie tyrell were right about the lack of tv coverage hurling is getting. The McDonagh Cup did manage about 2 minutes of coverage last night though which is an improvement. It's no way to try to promote the game, the gaa are responsible.

As a Carlowman I was really happy with the win in Kerry as we have struggled there badly in the past. I realise Kerry are in transition atm with a young team so that will stand to them going forward. There's still a lot of work to do to get out of 2A but division 1 is where you need to be if you have any hope competing in liam Mccarthy. We have meath up next who are on the back of a good win against kildare so they'll be a difficult opponent.

Good start for the footballers last night. It's a young team still but progressing nicely. If they keep their belief and discipline they have a chance of promotion. Hopefully they won't take Waterford for granted as no such thing as an easy game. It's about taking each game as it comes.

Replying To Skippy2: "Unreal performance yesterday and no more than the whole group deserved.
Support was fantastic.
Now we need the County board to step up and start giving proper funding and support to hurling in the county. Time and time again the hurlers deliver. This is a massive chance to really push the hurling and sow the seeds for future generations.
Probably need some really strong hurling men sitting on the board to at the very least balance the scale." Absolutely agree with that skippy. The county board need to put a big push into developing the game throughout the county. It's important to get as many schools as possible playing the game as well as trying to develop the game in the non traditional areas of the county example tullow,rathvilly,hacketstown etc. There is room for the dual player/club. Imo playing both codes can improve a player at both but has to be in cooperation with the club/clubs involved

Good result yesterday against Meath although the performance was below par and won't cut it the next day against Laois. Dion Wall continues to impress at full back and conor kehoe is flying atm. Chris Nolan is without doubt one of the top forwards in the country on current form. I think the laois game will just depend on which team turns up on the night as there's usually very little between them. Footballers first up next Saturday so hopefully they'll set the tone.
