After the excitement of yesterday Carlow will wind down celebrations and get ready for a stern test Which will give us an indication of where we are at. Having 3 weeks between matches gives us a chance to reset and go again I am under no illusions, Dublin will be raging favourites and rightly so. I am looking forward to getting over for it. Should be a big crowd and Dr Cullen park is a big field with a great hurling surface. Should be a good day out whatever the result. Blackbog (Carlow) - Posts: 755 - 28/05/2023 20:57:42 2482347 Link

I'm wondering what happened to the doctor???? i.e. when the Netwatch deal happened, why wasn't it called "Netwatch Dr. Cullen Park" instead of "Netwatch Cullen Park"? Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2856 - 29/05/2023 15:30:55 2482632 Link
Ya the Dubs performed well overall yesterday, unlucky to have not won perhaps but salvaged something from it all the same, but disappointment to have missed out on a Leinster final appearance. No doubt they will see themselves as favourites to win this one, certainly won't rate Carlow as any more than a potential banana skin ... I'd say this is the way Carlow will like it ...

Dublin certainly will not be taking Carlow for granted. There's been some close enough games between us over the years. Kavanagh has had some great games against Dublin and is an asset to any team, but he's not a one man show obviously. Main difference is that Dublin have been hurling at a higher level, which Carlow will be doing next year. It's staying up is the key to maintaining that. I expect Dublin will win for the above reasons but certainly not expecting it to be a pushover. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3508 - 29/05/2023 17:00:00 2482671 Link

Just out of interest do you call the Park Wexford Park or Chadwicks Wexford Park? Not trying to diminish Chadwicks sponsorship at all as everyone knows they sponsor it. My youngest daughter was even on their promotional video for this season after the Walsh Cup game against Kilkenny where some of it was filmed!

Replying To Bimb: "It was called netwatch cullen park......... Must have lost his docrorate" Or the medical council struck him off? ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1336 - 29/05/2023 19:33:34 2482731 Link
Replying To Blackbog: "Ah get over your self It's the County Grounds to me It's a push for me to say Dr Cullen Park" Yeah I'll settle for the County grounds but calling it after a bishop is way past its sell by date. Overthebar53 (Carlow) - Posts: 340 - 29/05/2023 23:37:12 2482762 Link

I'm sure a good number of this Dublin team were on the team caught out by Laois in 2019. So they'll be very much on their guard. Fantastic win in the Joe Mac on Saturday, and we'll need the 3 weeks to up it again for the Dubs... carlovian (Carlow) - Posts: 16 - 30/05/2023 07:43:14 2482772 Link

Most I know call it "The Park". ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1336 - 30/05/2023 11:24:34 2482821 Link

Have never called it Chadwicks Wexford Park in normal conversation, and I never called it Innovate Wexford Park before that either. I also still say Lansdowne Road and the Point Depot. Might be showing my age with that last one! Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2856 - 30/05/2023 12:50:43 2482859 Link

You are on your own with the last one though: D Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15673 - 30/05/2023 17:49:35 2482995 Link

Best of luck to both teams though I'm hoping for a Carlow victory. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2494 - 31/05/2023 16:27:24 2483217 Link
