Carlow are celebrating promotion from Division 4 of the Allianz Football League for the first time since 1985.

A 1-12 to 0-12 victory over Antrim in Corrigan Park secured the Barrowsiders' place in Division 3 for next year with a round to spare and had Carlovians rejoicing on Twitter.

Congrats to @Carlow_GAA & in particular my next door neighbour in Crossmaglen, Chris Crowley on their promotion from Division 4 today. Brilliant to see that last years championship run gave them the belief to create a bit of history.

Well done @Carlow_GAA on promotion. They had big number of supporters there too. Probably more than we had in truth.

Team are going the Canal Court Hotel in Newry. All welcome; man, woman, child, pet, Down people, Antrim people

This is for everyone, our families, friends and the men who soldered for so many years in the Carlow jersey for all the years in the darkness, with no reward, mark my words we are going to enjoy this one, we are Carlow

Fantastic day for @Carlow_GAA. Heartiest congratulations to Turlough and everyone involved. Thoroughly deserved.

Well done to all concerned with getting Carlow out of Div4 at long last. Massive effort being put in by many people at all levels of Carlow GAA. Onwards & upwards. Spare a thought for 84/85 team who won 7 games in Div4 only for the GAA to re-organise the Leagues ! @Carlow_GAA pic.twitter.com/fb2lrWSf0S
