Replying To CARPS: "I can't get my head around O'Hanrahans. They were SENIOR four years ago. Can anybody explain what has happened up there? I'm around a long time now and I have never heard of a club going from senior to Junior B in such a short space of time It's like an english soccer team falling from the Premier League to League 2 in 5 seasons." You just need to look at their underage structure, it wont take you long as there isnt much. Not taking away the work they do but i think pal have pulled a lot of children out of the town through the school out there which has knock on impacts for both the blues and asca and this is now being seen with the lack of younger players coming through. Very hard to get families to buy in when competing with eire og and pal more4me (Carlow) - Posts: 113 - 14/09/2025 18:59:02 2636121 Link
Does anyone know what happens if 3 teams finish on equal points. Is it decided by a play off or points difference ? Overthebar53 (Carlow) - Posts: 385 - 14/09/2025 20:51:07 2636148 Link
Replying To Overthebar53: "Does anyone know what happens if 3 teams finish on equal points. Is it decided by a play off or points difference ?" There's a mini league table done based on matches between the 3 teams only. So for example if Bagenalstown, Fenagh and Tinryland all finish on 2 points, their results against Pal would be ignored. hurlingguru (Carlow) - Posts: 1850 - 14/09/2025 21:28:40 2636159 Link

Complacency is the honest answer to that. Have not helped themselves one bit. DolmenDave (Carlow) - Posts: 10 - 14/09/2025 21:30:46 2636160 Link
