Replying To ACarlowGael: "Anyone at the minor hurling final on Monday? Looked like a cracker based on the highlights on social media." It was a brilliant display of hurling especially in wet conditions. Naomh Eoin were a lot bigger and more physical. The better team won on the night I would say but it was a joy to watch as a neutral. icarlowt (Carlow) - Posts: 6 - 21/10/2026 19:43:18 2698158 Link
Replying To MickyMouse: "An U-21 C football championship comprising of just 4 teams, what's the point, just stick to A and B" Listen, progress is not measured alphabetically, so no need to stick to A and B. As for looking for all the trophies back, forget about sure they haven't given them out yet. Keep up to speed. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3436 - 21/10/2026 22:44:50 2698173 Link

Went so close to doing a minor A double in hurling and football but ended the season with nothing. Some stars of the future coming throw the town though.

Replying To Optimist2013: "I have seen the video on Tiktok but I definitely seen a school visit today with the cup and it appears fine." Why punish all the other clubs because one can't behave themselves? TownGael29 (Carlow) - Posts: 31 - 22/10/2026 03:16:24 2698176 Link

Some stars of the future coming throw the town though." Just saw the clip for the three side lines scored, unbelievable scores. Shocked to hear it was their first minor since 2007 but given the way the senior side has been for a while it explains a lot. CarlowJuniorB (Clare) - Posts: 241 - 22/10/2026 11:44:02 2698194 Link
Is there going to be any sanctions for the players or club for such behaviour. MickyMouse (Carlow) - Posts: 7 - 22/10/2026 14:26:14 2698217 Link

Think the same chap scored 14 or 15 points on the night between the sideline cuts, frees, 65s and a few from play as well. He was on the Carlow minor team this year so will be minor again for the club next year. ACarlowGael (Carlow) - Posts: 65 - 22/10/2026 16:25:23 2698241 Link

Replying To Optimist2013: "Who said they are punishing anyone.." Asking clubs for Cups back is punishment, Ballon has just won theirs but must now return the cup? Its an absolute lack of respect from the Snr Champions, they should be punished with a heavy fine, although I believe the move already in place shows that the CB are afraid of upsetting them so punished everyone for their lack of respect.

Are u aware of any damage caused? As you can clearly see from Social Media the Snr Cup is in perfect condition. I believe there are other cups that were handed out over the last few weeks in worse condition than the snr one due to the treatment they have been subjected to.

Replying To Pikeman96: "I think you may have misinterpreted me. Those two clubs would indeed be competitive in any county's club championship, and I said nothing to suggest otherwise about their standard. My point was simply that a large part of why the Carlow Hurling Final gets selected for TV is due to timing, as it doesn't go up against many other county finals. If it was instead at a time of year when more finals are on in more counties, chances of it being selected would obviously reduce. For instance, on the day our own Wexford Hurling Final is to be played this year (Sunday October 25), there's also to be Senior Hurling Finals in Limerick and Kilkenny, and the Senior Football Final in Kerry. I wouldn't even expect TG4 to come looking for ours ahead of any of those other three. And if the Carlow Final was on then, I wouldn't expect them to go looking for that either." You were spot on, Dublin, Kilkenny and Limericks hurling finals picked for tv. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20879 - 23/10/2026 15:16:01 2698353 Link
Replying To Viking66: "You were spot on, Dublin, Kilkenny and Limericks hurling finals picked for tv." :) Dublin on Saturday evening, and the other two on Sunday. Kerry football misses out. On the other Carlow topic being discussed these days - if that cup really is in "perfect" condition (as the other poster here says), or "undamaged" (as per the statement from Carlow GAA that's reported in The Nationalist there), then all you can think is that whoever had that angle grinder really didn't know how to use it, and it mustn't have been a very good one in the first place. But there can be absolutely no doubt that there was an angle grinder taken to it in the first place. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 4156 - 23/10/2026 15:39:36 2698358 Link

Or else it was some very well and someone in rathvilly can do a very good quick job at welding it back together. CarlowJuniorB (Clare) - Posts: 241 - 23/10/2026 20:41:34 2698387 Link
Replying To CarlowJuniorB: "Or else it was some very well and someone in rathvilly can do a very good quick job at welding it back together." It happens every few years now where social media goes wild with allegations of this and that after a club wins a county fimal and and there is some behaviour from the club that hits the headlines. Rathvilly won the Carlow championship and a few lads.decided to have some fun or what they considered fun while many others frowned! This happens quite often and many will say it was an incident blown out of proportion. My understanding is that no actual damage was done, but people's sensitivities were tickled a little more than usual I suppose it reminds us of the attachment we have to trophies and we should remember that many cups remember individuals who have given much of their lives to the GAA and that should be part of the discourse also I supp9sen carlowman (Carlow) - Posts: 1905 - 25/10/2026 09:43:10 2698478 Link
