Carlow Hurlers

Stevecw

Ok i know i don't post here much, but as a regular reader of this forum, i notice a lack of GAA talk!!

On Saturday at 4pm in Croke Park, Carlows hurling team play v Down in Christy Ring final.

Its a huge thing as the winner will be in real All Ireland next year!!
So if Carlow win on Saturday, next summer we might be welcoming Kilkenny to Dr Cullen Park live on RTE!

I am a big GAA fan and go to all football & hurling games. But as footballers are struggling, its hurling we are getting good at.

Even those of you with minimal interest in GAA should try get to Croke Park on Saturday to cheer on a squad of guys who have put in so much effort to give Carlow a team we can be proud of!

So are ye going???

Saturday afternoon, spin up to Croker and hopefully witness best day in Carlow GAA since 1944!!! Then come home, and we all go out and celebrate the homecoming and enjoy the night that follows!!!

Didn't Carlow have a decent Minor football team a couple of years ago. Any sign of them making an impact at Senior level.

We did have a brilliant minor team in Carlow. In fact we have had many good minor teams in the county.
Its like everything else in relation to football here in Carlow...Politics plays a big role.
I am not from Carlow but I have been involed in the GAA in the county over the past 8 years. (I am one of these lads that both sides give out to during a game) and I find that while every club in the county have good players it depends on who is selecting on any one particular team as to whether these "good" and deserving players get onto the team
I say get rid of the "oldies" and start developing from an early age. Maybe in a few years we will have a team that will take us to the limits.

€20 for a regular ticket, €10 for students and €5 for juveniles. Throw-in's at 4pm, the other two finals begin at 12pm and 2pm (all included in the price).
C'mon Carlow!

I'll be there, i'm expecting the standard of hurling to be awful. It's not a pretty game played badly! I have to go to the second game as part of my work. I'm not sure if i'll even hang around for the Carlow game at all! We'll see!

Well done Carlow. Think about it now. Replacing one of Antrim, Clare or Wexford in the Al - Ireland series in 2010. Fantastic.

When you see how much Antrim have improved having followed the same route as Carlow it is very encouraging.
