Replying To carlowman:  "Some decent positives as well for senior hurling. Carlow Town won the intermediate and will play senior next year. One or two of their players might be asked in to the county panel as well.
Naomh Eoin won the MH and that is a very positive sign for them after many barren years.
Yes MLR are the dominat force but St Mullins ran them close in the final and perhaps if they had taken their goal chances would have won !
Naomh Brid got a win too. Not all doom and glooml !"
I'm delighted to see Carlow Town and Naomh Brid progress, but the we have to be realistic and understand that their players are generally football first.

That's why a Myshall or St Mullins minor win is worth 3 Carlow Town minor wins, because you know those lads will stick at hurling.

And, yes, Mullins losing to MLR's 2nd team is very worrying. I fear when they lose Marty and James Doyle, things might start to get very one sided.

I would agree with the first part of your statement that the town lads generally choose football first but this group in Carlow town seem to buck that trend bar a few. However to say a Naomh Eoin or St. Mullins Minor is Worth three Carlow Town minors is a fairly outlandish statement.
