i agree with keeper7 here.oulart took coolderry and kilcormac a bit for granted the last 2 years.they will NOT make that same mistake again.i hope anyway.
after 5 failed attempts since 1994,in spite of my dislike of oulart when playing within wexford,that dislike is gone and i am now fully behind them and hope they do it.and from talking to the many people i meet daily within the county,i think this is the widespread sentiment.

good luck lads.

As much as I'd love to see Rangers winning I can't see it happening. Rangers will have to rpoduce a similar if not better performance to beat Oulart and it is very hard to do that 2 times in a row. My verdict is Oulart by 6+. Hope I'm wrong though.

Have MLR at 50/1 e-w to win Leinster, so will win money no matter what.
Sunday will be huge, there will be a massive Carlow crowd there. People that have never been to a club hurling game in Carlow are jumping on the bandwagon for Sunday.

Oulart are 6-4 to win by more than 4, and I fear that might be a decent bet. MLR have done amazing up to now, but I have this horrible feeling that it might all go wrong on Sunday with so much attention & live tv on them.

i think MLR have maybe 4-5 players,arent those coady's Carlow seniors?come on carlow folk,surely some of you know?

i have never seen such unity behind a club team in wexford as there currently is for this oulart team.the whole county literally is praying they win and club rivalries are now gone out the window and it is fantastic to see.

Perfect 10
Yes there are 3 coadys county members & the goalie Frank Foley, plus a few others Byrnes and that, but all have played senior with there county ,the longest serving would have been Edward Coady, Frank Foley & James Hickey playing county for 15 years i would imagen. but how and ever sure arent Oulart the backbone of wexford for a long time now. we will see sunday if the whole of wexford will be behind oulart as you say when the support turns up, i reckon Mount Leinster will outnumber ye 4/1. this in my eyes will be a cracking encounter and i can only see one winner the carlow champs.

well done to mlount leinster rangers on making the final to be honest I said it from minute they got to Carlow final they would get to leinster final being tipping them all year and won a nice few pound by doing so. They have some fine hurlers good enough for any county team and the standard they have introduced to Carlow over the last ten years has been incredible not many teams in county can live with them for the level of hurling skill determination and sheer will to win. They have the experience of playing in croke park in an all Ireland final so I am sure Sunday will not fase them one bit and they will hit the ground running and hit oulart with everything they have one they don't concede an early goal they will have every chance. In terms of Oulart we all know what a fantastic hurling team they are and play a very good brand of hurling which when it clicks not to many can live with it some very tidy hurlers great stickmen. I know rangers will get the support on Sunday and they deserve it as do OuLart i think this could be the game of the club series this year. Also can anyone tell me if the game is being shown on telly this weekend currently abroad so would really like to see it.

Looks like the match will be shown live. Hope so, as it promises to be a cracker. No-one would begrudge Oulart who have been around for a while now, but would be great to see MLR winning Leinster.

ITSCHOLAR,

Rangers ABU!

skysports I admire the confidence.

I am not so sure Carlow people will out-number Wexford people by the way. A lot of people I know are going and have travelled this Oulart team around Leinster for the past 5 years, not a bunch of johnny-come-latelys turning up for the final.

Promises to be a great game. The confidence is admirable.

Should be a good game. If MLR play as good as they played against Ballyboden they will be hard to beat. Oulart have been around for a long time and are a decent team, so they might see this as their last and best chance to win at least a Leinster title.

Can't believe it. . .no disrespect to.mlr. I'm thrilled for them and hurling in general is a winner today but poor oulart. There fed up beating the best Kilkenny has to offer only to continuously fall at the final hurdle. Didnt turn up today

WOW, just WOW! Feel sorry for Oulart...

poor Oulart my A..E. year after year they have proven that they haven't got the minerals to win Leinster let alone an All Ireland,on todays performance Loughgiel should beat MLR handy enough in the semi...

turfcutter (Antrim) - Posts: 277 - 01/12/2013 15:39:00    1519487

With due respect - MLR will not be beaten handy by anyone - - great second half display today

Nobody said they would be. I'm delighted for them and there defense was savage in the second half. I feel this result is down to a poor oulart performeance

Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3587 - 01/12/2013 15:55:46    1519501

They won't, no. Great intensoty today
