2 very good games last Sunday that shows that hurling is in a good place in Carlow. Both games were tight and could of went either way. I Thought the last 20 minutes of St Mullins/Rangers was unreal. The passion and honesty of all the players was brilliant and hurling was the real winner. Rangers were just able to keep to nosing ahead and some of the scores were a joy to watch. Here's hoping for a great final Dualclub1 (Carlow) - Posts: 278 - 03/10/2017 11:25:34 2052655 Link 0 |
I tought first match was poor and second only got going late on. Chris Nolan was fantastic tho. What an exciting prospect Bimb (Carlow) - Posts: 452 - 03/10/2017 13:02:38 2052690 Link 0 |
2 enjoyable competitive games on Sunday. I thought the standard of the second game as expected was a lot higher. Would be a bit fearful of a very one sided co final, MLR look hungry again and the couple of young stars they have now have livened up the whole thing. Chris Nolan and McDonald have come of age as seniors and overall MLR will win final easily enough. The Real 1944 (Carlow) - Posts: 1114 - 03/10/2017 20:34:05 2052827 Link 0 |
Very high quality semi's on Sunday last with both games having very exciting finishes. The first game lacked a little intensity but Balinkillen had their chances and could have gotten another goal. They did not score enough with the breeze in the first half, the breeze also strengthened in the second half and the length of the Naomh Eon puck outs proved crucial. Some Balinkillen players did not play up to standard either. Fair dues to Myshall who kept plugging away- kept their concentration and got their just rewards late in the game. Foley's strike proving the key to the win- and all form the really long puck out. carlowman (Carlow) - Posts: 1821 - 04/10/2017 13:51:31 2053003 Link 0 |
Easy win for MLR yesterday, played some fantastic hurling in the first half and were always in complete control. They seem to take it easy in the second half and had the luxury of emptying the bench. They seemed to have their swagger back and hopefully they'll give Leinster a good rattle again Dualclub1 (Carlow) - Posts: 278 - 16/10/2017 09:40:26 2055510 Link 0 |
MLR looked the part yet again on Sunday, but especially in the semi final v St Mullins which to be honest was the real final. The Real 1944 (Carlow) - Posts: 1114 - 17/10/2017 23:04:09 2055900 Link 0 |
MLR are back in the Leinster championship and will be difficult to beat on Nov 5th - but St Mullins were very worthy champions for the past few years and they struggled to make a significant impact in Leinster. Leinster is very hard to win. carlowman (Carlow) - Posts: 1821 - 18/10/2017 20:31:41 2056098 Link 0 |
Anyone any predictions for Camross/MLR on Sunday? Portlaoise will be a tough place to get a result and home advantage has to be a huge help to the laois Champions Dualclub1 (Carlow) - Posts: 278 - 02/11/2017 14:46:17 2059791 Link 0 |

Very good from MLR yesterday. They had to be patient but pushed on well at the end and showed very good discipline . Losing Eddie Byrne and Denis Murphy early were big blows but all subs contributed hugely. Very good squad there now and should have a real chance in 2 weeks time.

Didn't get to it, but listened to KCLR. Fantastic win and good to see subs come in and play a vital role. The Real 1944 (Carlow) - Posts: 1114 - 06/11/2017 21:04:43 2060874 Link 0 |

How will MLR fare on Sunday? Huge game for the county. Should be a great atmosphere in O Connor Park Dualclub1 (Carlow) - Posts: 278 - 15/11/2017 10:45:35 2062431 Link 0 |
The u17s had trials I think at the weekend too. County is now 365!

James Doyle starring for IT Carlow at center back with Marty at corner forward. They are in the Division 1 league final. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 16/11/2017 11:02:00 2062630 Link 0 |
Couldn't make it to Tullamore last Sunday. Was very surprised Mount Leinster Rangers got such a hammering. I really thought they were heading up with a good chance. Where does anyone who might have been at the game think it went wrong? Team selection, Poor decisions on the line during the game or was it just one of those days?

I think everyone was surprised at the manner of defeat. I just think it was one of those days for MLR, nothing went right for them and everything KK tried came off. I was speaking to a few Offaly supporters after the game and they had never seen such a performance from KK. Is not a fair reflection on the MLR team as they have proven in the past that they are a top team in Leinster. They will just have to learn from it and not let it happen again Dualclub1 (Carlow) - Posts: 278 - 22/11/2017 10:53:42 2063256 Link 0 |
