That might have been a pretty good show from your lads last night. Ok, they went behind in the first half, but " won" the second half and kicked I think 7 two pointers. Out team is possibly a little better than those of the last few years so, the knockouts should be interesting - for both sides.

Sad to see the fall of our underage hurling squads in the past few years while we where never ones to beat the kk wexfords dublin etc of the world we always would compete and give a good game to most of these teams. To see us taking a bit of bearing against meath and kerry this year is very worrying but do we take the approach of trying to breed 3 or 4 of these hurlers for our senior team going forward. Seems to work for st.mullins who for there senior success rarely win much underage but always have 2 to 3 new faces coming on board most years and stay very competitive. Think first game of joe mac will tell alot if we rock up and can beat laois then you can be content this was just a poor league but if we take a beating I would be seriously concerned going forward. One point I would also note is the lack of hirling in our secondary schools at present borris probably been where it's taken most serious but still in b comps DLS in c comps remember a time when both where in the A and competitive enough with a majority blend of carlow hurlers involved. This exposed more hurlers to a higher standard driving competition in county teams I dont think it's breaking new ground and when these schools where at there most competitive i think the county squads where also at there most competitive.
