Replying To Onion Breath: "I don't think Dowling is county senior standard tbh. Buggy for sure. You're right about midfield. We're in trouble there. The big guys who play their for Carlow clubs are all too slow. So we're depending on breaking ball. In fairness we've lots of quick lads who can hoover it up. But Div 3 will be a struggle." Call me naive but I don't think the big lads in midfield need to be exceptionally mobile. Modern game with new rules is now a running and pressing game but if you have 6 willing lads to win breaking balls and cover the pitch in half back and half forward lines you're not doing too badly. Our biggest issues are just ball winners in midfield. Ruth last year did so much of it in the league and when out for the championship it showed. Anyone from that Ballon side to possibly come in given how young they are? CarlowJuniorB (Clare) - Posts: 238 - 18/10/2026 22:41:52 2697816 Link

Replying To Carlowrising: "Conor Doyle has to be the most consistant player for club and county this decade, deservedly man of the match and could prob go up another gear. Enjoyable County final, the better team came out on top, Old Leighlin will probably disappointed with their attacking today. James Dowling and Sean Bambrick stood out for the runners up" Enjoyable county Final???? Dualclub1 (Carlow) - Posts: 312 - 19/10/2026 11:12:01 2697846 Link
Replying To CarlowJuniorB: "I was talking about the blues" You seem to be very upset about the Blues. You had Myshall beating them a few weeks ago. Which was about as likely as Ireland flying someone to the moon. Personally, I think their current revival is great. We have half our population in the town. So we need vibrant clubs in the town area. Especially given competition with soccer, etc. CARPS (Carlow) - Posts: 1152 - 19/10/2026 11:37:01 2697850 Link
