Never said it was easy, if it was Noamh Eoin wouldn't have gone 20 years without a county title. Nor was it a slight against MLR. They will continue to win championships in Carlow for years to come because of the quality they have. Leinster is different though. Holding Chris Nolan to two points from play won Kilmacud that game, that's what they set out to do knowing MLR will struggle for scores outside of him.

Don't really see anything bar a 10 point win for Port. Rathvilly had a side full of decent players but seems to settle for a county title. I hope I'm wrong and the attitude has changed but doubtful. Last year Port Vs OL made it look like men against boys. The difference in physicality was massive. CarlowJuniorB (Clare) - Posts: 245 - 11/11/2026 14:54:20 2700090 Link 0 |

I would be surprised if they didn't put in a significantly better performance than Old Leighlin did. As someone else mentioned they have been targeting this for a while. Although I do think they'll come up short they'll put up a good fight. Port by3/4

Ballon looked comfortable throughout and will be tough to beat, well done to them, one parish seem to be going to leinster showing who they are over the last few years!! Hopefully rathvilly can go forward tomorrow too. Ballon have a young team, a lot of the minor champions a couple of years ago. Intermediate is a tough grade to get through, look at grange last year so fair play to them, great for an adult club to still have the lights on this late in the year more4me (Carlow) - Posts: 134 - 14/11/2026 19:07:32 2700376 Link 0 |

Serious result from Ballon, St Olaf's would be considered a progressive club 'on the way up' in Dublin and were definitely eying a Leinster title. Clearly the Ballon clubmen didn't read the script. Between this and the steady rise of Burren Rangers this is an example of a GAA community who are quietly and steadily making ground. No reason to think they can't go and make their bit of history now in the weeks ahead!! Bainisteoir (National) - Posts: 629 - 15/11/2026 10:46:52 2700412 Link 0 |

Ballon could be a force to reckon with next year. They've arguably the best forward line in the county, looking forward to see how they go against some bigger names Collio (Carlow) - Posts: 164 - 15/11/2026 12:05:19 2700413 Link 0 |

Best thing Ballon have about them as young legs. The game has changed so much that if you can have lads constantly going it makes some difference
