I think the size of bennekerry school has fed masively into it and Pal obviously got a system in place underage to accomodate for the influx of players. They've also developed a great culture of young coaches it seems, you look at most of their underage teams and there's always a few of their senior players on the management, that level of effort and time the're giving is obviously going to reap rewards. So credit to them, I haven't heard of Tinryland doing anything wrong and they look to mostly have things in order, everything is cyclical and I'm sure the day will come when the roles will reverse.

I'm not doubting that Eire Og deserve to be there based on this years performances, I think last year they were beaten by a point in the group stage and semi final which shows they were at least competitive. My point on Tinryland was that they've been consistently poor for two years. I do agree that they're very harshly treated given the score that obviously would have sent them through but as some poster said, every game has contentious moments albeit not as potentially consequential as that score for them. Things do go in cycles, I think Tinryland are just going through a very poor one at this moment. Not sure who my money is on fine the final, you'd have to imagine Eire Og will pull out all the stops to have the likes of Dunphy and maybe Morrissey back which will surely aid them. Tinryland have been hit by injuries this year so it'll be interesting to see if Redmond and Moran play. Would not be a nice way to finish off their last few years with the club if they do go down. Intriguing times

Two super minor hurling semi finals in Fenagh last night. Burren Rangers defeating MLR 4-10 to 3-12, their 3rd minor final in a row!! Some achievement for the club. Bagenalstown beat Ballinkillen in the other semi final 2-12 to 13 points. It should be a cracking final between two good teams. I think Burren Rangers were the only team to beat Bagenalstown in the group stage so an interesting final in store. ACarlowGael (Carlow) - Posts: 13 - 26/09/2025 09:33:36 2637501 Link 0 |

I wasn't out there last night but i heard they were two cracking minor games alright. I've seen Bagenalstown a couple of times this year and thought they were very strong and some of their best are underage again next year. If I'm not mistaken Bagenalstown werethe only minor team in the county who didn't play in the Kilkenny league earlier this year which i took as a bad sign for them but flying it now anyway. By sounds of it Ballinkillen who wouldn't have as big a pick weren't far off them and then for Burren to beat MLR again was a great sign of how strong that club is now becoming year on year from nothing not that long ago a hurling wasteland that side of the county but its been a great success. Minor football Pal definitely seem the strongest again this year. I saw Bagenalstown v Grange a few weeks ago and i was impressed with the town - strong players on every line of the pitch with the strong hurlers showing up well here as well. I haven't seen Eire Og minors this year. I did see the county U-16 final a few weeks ago and the Eire Og team are very impressive killed the game early and gave Pal no way back. Like men against boys due to the physical size and the obvious conditioning that Eire Og have been doing with that team but fine footballers on it too.

Will all clubs have the right to vote on the junior ladies championship, the senior camogie... Etc. it requires people working together for everyone in the community. Can't see it being a major issue. Hopefully allow for proper planning across all.

The danger with one club one vote across the board is clubs start lobbying each other e.g. we'll support your proposed rescheduling of the minor b camoige if you support us in changing the mens SFC etc. I know as things stand some of that happens already with football only clubs lobbying hurling clubs etc but it could get ridiculous if say a small camoige club is voting on changes to the SFC. Anyway that all has to be worked out centrally I suppose and by sounds of it the integration proposal is not going well.

Ha ha! Fair Play to MLR. A great example of joining 3 clubs together to get success that they couldn't on their own. Didn't see dual club give a prediction last weekend as I'm sure it's easier to jump on after the fact. But here we go. Cocks Pal 2 Kildavin MLR and Btown is tight but prob MLR on RECENT evidence Eire Og 2 OL On a seperate note on this forum I find it hard to see why some posters think all clubs should be dual? Complete waffle talk on this as it's known that the hurling clubs and one already mentioned are the biggest influencers in Co Board. Football being hung out to dry or get soaked ( weather joke) by leaving it till September to start the championship. Pining over a hurling championship that has 5 teams and eliminates 1 after 4 rounds?? And with 2 so far ahead it's a complete waste of time. Be as well playing a 5 games series between Mullins and MLR. Senior Hurling championship in Carlow is boring and anyone without skin in the game can tell you this. The football championship is the compete opposite entertaining and competitive games every weekend. Carlow hurlers having there time now but when Mouse and James Doyle finish up (both 31/32?) the rangers will have the stronger lads and it will be a merry dance every year which in turn will lead to the county team faltering but yeah proof is in the numbers as to what is the more popular game. 10 hurling clubs 20 football clubs. sportsmadcarlow (Carlow) - Posts: 27 - 26/09/2025 12:51:37 2637545 Link 0 |

Ha, your not a hurling fan then. I could see how you could wound up following Div 4 Footballers every year. The football clubs have the most votes and vote for the spilt season, not 1 club. MLR are a one parish team that had 2 junior clubs involved previously, don't be trying to justify football only clubs losing to them when MLR only picked up a football 3 weeks ago...Fair play to them Dualclub1 (Carlow) - Posts: 296 - 26/09/2025 14:59:39 2637555 Link 0 |

I would genuinely love to see MLR give the football a proper go, when's the last time we've had a club do a senior double? Myshall in the 80s did it if I'm not mistaken but I'm possibly wrong. Obviously very difficult for their senior players to commit with the amount of them on the senior hurling panel but I think they'd be very capable of it, who knows this could be their year

in 1986, Myshall beat Palatine in the football final and Ballinabranna in the hurling. Oddly, Naomh Eoin also beat Ballinabranna to go senior in hurling for the first time, 18 years earlier. But that was Fintan's second team and Myshall's first. In six years between 1986 and 1990 Naomh Eoin contested then senior finals. Six hurling and four football! Won one football and four hurling. Astonishing when you look back on it. CARPS (Carlow) - Posts: 932 - 27/09/2025 13:07:27 2637639 Link 0 |

Some win for Bagenalstown this evening I don't think anyone thought they'd win it this easily. Played good football all through but MLR were a shadow of the team that beat Eire Og. If Rathvilly don't play up to par and Bagenalstown repeat today's performance they could be in with a shot at getting to the county final. They'll need all of today's intensity again and repeat of the good shooting though and it'll be far tougher next week. Onion Breath (Carlow) - Posts: 1674 - 27/09/2025 22:59:35 2637686 Link 0 |

No Eire Og ? That was their B team I watched today in DCP ? It was hilarious. No basic skills, slow, old or just bad. Why does everyone think they are this big legendary club ? Where's all this young talent? The defence was junior D level. Half forward line was worse. Only one that stood out was young Coakley. He is brilliant. Yet should be a senior judging by their forwards. One of the selectors spent the game shouting at his own players and the ref. He would have been better off watch the game and making subs. Second game was just as bad but fenagh were just outclassed. But at least they showed some heart and pride in the jersey unlike the game before. OL are my tip to win it. I think they have a certain French kiss about them. DolmenDave (Carlow) - Posts: 31 - 28/09/2025 20:56:31 2637735 Link 0 |

With Kilbride playing The Cocks and Tullow playing Grange got me thinking, what is the best local derby in the county? Not saying these are but would be interested in other people's thoughts. sportsmadcarlow (Carlow) - Posts: 27 - 29/09/2025 11:59:18 2637791 Link 0 |

Milford v Graiguecullen? ... maybe not. Has to be Eire Og and the Blues ... but will we ever see it again? In hurling Myshall v Ballinkillen used to be infamous but this generation seem more settled. Onion Breath (Carlow) - Posts: 1674 - 29/09/2025 13:37:13 2637811 Link 0 |
