And pray tell NOWINS ... what are your plans? Do you have any? NO! You obviously have switched from BOWSEY and we know what he was about... negativity. A real GAA man true and true! Obviously some Carlow team ruined your dreams at some stage of your formative years and this has regrettably (?) shaped your personality and your comments since? Sad... most people with true blood in them can take their beating and move on...

Hey lads, how many clubs in carlow??? How many play hurling?? Seems pretty obvious at the minute that carlow have replaced dublin (who have made it) as the county with the most potential to make a breakthrough in the next ten years....a break through being win a leinster minor, a leinster schools or generally become competitive at minor level. I can't understand why HQ doesn't make it mandatory to field a coláiste na Ceatharlach team, same idea as waterford and dublin. Also, if ye're stuck for ideas for getting more club teams together i can speak with experience by saying that the divisional system (adult and underage) works wonders.....north carlow, mid carlow and south carlow etc. Having competitive fixtures and varied opposition at a high standard is what keeps a young fella interested, i would therefore advocate playing in the league of a neighbouring county and championship at home.
are carlow now picking from the strongest hand possible for 2010?? I heard there was some in-fighting...i hope not. unity is strength!!!
Best of luck in the liam mc carthy, i'm sure ye'll do yourselves proud and it'll bring ye on, it's great that ye've been guaranteed two years in it. here's to leinster getting competitive again.
finally, cad é an scéal with the boys coming on here to run carlow down, hilarious wind up merchants, really funny altogether. encourage guys to play hurling don't run them down for it or you'll kill the game. i'd love to see carlow beat cork in an the minor championship for the good of hurling!!! and that's coming from a cork man....i'd probably hate ye after that though ;-)
iomáinaíocht abú.

We have made progress but have a long ways to go before we can really take on the real big guns with full confidence. That is where we are and... the future is looking a bit brighter with Div 2 hurling for 2 years in a row being a very big plus. The age profile of the players is also encouraging and the minors being put through their paces is also very encouraging. So, things are looking promising an we have good men there keeping a close eye on the players in training.

If and i hope we do... score the same against all our opponents this year as we did against Limerick, last weekend, then we will be have done well and made progress.

dual supporter, that you tube video is a cracker, lets hope we have reason to show more of these during the year.

Dual Supporter... agree the video was good and well scripted! Lets hope that we have a lot of counties cringing when they think about Carlow.... after we play them, and not before.

Just wonderin does anybody have the team/scorers from the Limerick match. The nationalist online edition only casually mention the game in another article
