Replying To Square_B:  "A very sensible assessment of the state of play in Division 4. I also think it will come down to a shootout on the last day vs yourselves which will add to the excitement of course. Ye both bet Antrim by 4 points so probably will be a tight enough game but having bet Wicklow, I think ye will shade it.

The game to watch is our own this weekend, depending how that plays out could be a sticky one as your own match v London would be the 'shootout' for promotion. Still lots to play for in Division 4."
Expecting a victory Sunday, can't expect anything less in my opinion they have shown they're a good team and need to be winning these games. This is the strongest panel we've had in a long time with numbers 1-30 all good players even the lads not making the match day squad.
I don't expect Leitrim to be playing for promotion come the final day, have already lost one game have a tough game this weekend away in London and also still have to play Antrim and Tipp, would be doing very well to get 2 wins out of 3 from them games.

It's a very Carlow attitude to not want to believe it trust in the team to kick on. Two very good wins over Antrim away and Wicklow at home. We honestly should have won the Wicklow game by about 10 points, put over so many easy wides. Wide open pitch tomorrow in semple, good turf and a strong running team. Could be a big statement win tomorrow.

I disagree with your assessment, Tipp & Antrim are well beatable. Assuming we win tomorrow and I think we will shade it just, the rest of our games are very winnable.

I think you're overestimating the strength of your own team, only time will tell.
