Congratulations on your league victory. Shows what can be done when you get the right man in charge and the players rowing in behind him.

What can I say? Our first ever silverware in Football in Croke Park. I am so proud of all the lads. I remember the feeling after laois beat us in 2018 & today we reversed that. Wasn't a perfect performance but we got there. To see a Carlow captain lift a cup in the Hogan Stand was unbelievable.
We were the better team throughout the game but how many goals did we miss ? I highlighted this earlier in the league about us failing to take our goal chances. Nearly cost us today. Not having a pop at anyone but we conceded 2 very poor goals today, I'll stand over my previous comments. Not up to inter county standard. Ruth was my MOTM but Doyle was close 2nd. Hopefully the lads will drive it on for Wicklow now in 2 weeks.

Congratulations to Carlow on a great win in Croke Park. It was a great game for the neutrals and both teams were out on their feet at the end. Carlow were the better team but the red card decisively tilted it away from a resilient Longford team. Games like this underpin the need to further develop proper championship structures for all counties. A space is now needed on the wall in the Irishman's for Carlow footballers 2026.
