Replying To Barrowsider:  "The Carlow regional under 16s tournament started tonight. Have to say I was delighted to see it start off so well. As ye know I have been posting about regional teams for years in here and to see it finally happen was great. This can only be positive for football in Carlow and hopefully it goes from strength to strength rolling out to all ages."
Positive vibes all round last night Hope the next few weeks build on that positivity. Regional teams have a future !

Would you rate them highly?

I'd like to know why M Graham walked away from Leitrim after committing and then walked into the Galway setup ??

Stephen Poacher was the best coach Carlow had since the 1980s. The players loved him; but the county board forced him out - because that's Carlow all over for you.

Leitrim will suit him - as it's also an underdog county. You've a great chance of staying up in Division Three now, and maybe contesting for the Tailteann.

Dan St Ledger has worked wonders at St Sylvesters. He got them promoted back to Senior 1 in his first season and he's kept them up for the past two years. No mean feat, especially given Syl's are based in an area that's not a traditional GAA heartland - Malahide is more soccer and rugby.

Alas, poor Carlow, we are going nowhere. And will go nowhere until we somehow find better quality officials. And that will require a change of mindset from the clubs. So, it ain't gonna happen.

As a matter of interest do you know if he has resigned his position with St. Sylvester's.

No idea on that, I'm afraid.

Replying To CW88:  "All players on the panel the last 2/3 years were invited to a meeting in the talbot last Sunday morning. There were no selectors there, just manager and S&C. Not a good start, I believe."
Can you enlighten us why? Poor turnout? Manager not make an impression?
