I think we can definitely get promoted still but the eire og centric selection needs to stop. Pick the best players and stop going with a few second rate . Very disappointing today

A great win for the Carlow ladies today. That's 6 from 6 now. They had to carpool to the game. That's disgraceful imo

Replying To Viking66:  "Down v Antrim won't be a game for the faint hearted. No result in that game will surprise me."
That game is probably our best chance of staying up.
Down are gone, so they only have pride to play for.
But you'd never know.
If that doesn't work out then were looking at getting a result out both remaining games.

Out of curiosity, when it comes to Eire Og centric players chosen, who would you not pick? Moore the only one you'd realistically drop. Ruth, hulton, and Blake have been three stand out players. Dunphy hasn't been his best but still one of our best forwards. Furey is a very solid player for us. Mccarron has been a great addition too.

Unless in missing some, they all fairly warrant their spots.

Could you expand on that? Strange that it was brought up now but you didn't see an issue in the first 4 games.

Replying To Onion Breath:  "A win v London Saturday week and we are definitely promoted 100% no way of being caught after today's results. Mess up against London and win in the last game v Leitrim will also definitely get us up. I don't think it'll come to that. Surely even Carlow can't mess this up!"
Onion Breath (Carlow) I am thinking that Div.4 is the most difficult to escape from, you know yourself only two teams can do it but they all think even now they are in with a chance of doing damage, I'm going no further than predicting a draw result against London in their own back yard, after that who knows what's going to happen.

For what it's worth, I have seen Carlow lose the odd game that was easier to win, have you not.?

Good point Collio
The breakdown of the Panel
Eire og 8
Rathvilly 6
old Leighlin 5
Tinryland 2
Bagnelstown 2
Palatine 1
Fenagh 1
Kilbride 1

Hardly over represation

My question would be who is not on the panel who wants to be

These lads have signed up ... It's not an easy road for the likes of us ... They deserve our support
