The Joe McDonagh Cup incorporating Christy Ring, Nicky Rackard and whoever else

S & C wise looked a fair imbalance between the sides. Picky is some yoke.

And Picky finally gets a free. He’s scored about a dozen today. Great to see the big man back at it. A big ovation for the man of the match

Laois 2-23 Antrim 0-22

FT

Davy needs another pre season to get them right.

Gas to see Reilly back.

A here , just saw the highlights it was nearer to a behind closed doors match ! Or is there Covid restrictions in place in o Moore park ?

I hadn’t noticed that Carlow won today again. They’ll be hard bet.

Joe McDonagh Cup

Carlow 4-20 Westmeath 1-23

By Gerry Buckley at TEG Cusack Park

Despite shooting a whopping 18 wides, Carlow still maintained their 100 per cent record in this year’s Joe McDonagh Cup with a fully deserved six-point win against Westmeath in idyllic weather conditions in Mullingar.

Pat Bennett is a good operator for a lad who is so closely linked to Davy. Winning that first senior title with Ferns was huge. A completely different kettle of fish to Seoirse Bulfin. A Kildavin-Clonegal man on the scoresheet @ChairmanDan. Fitzy will be beaming with pride.

He’s certainly as mad as Davy

Yeah, they’re fielding again at adult level for a few years now. They had a few players going to Ballinkillen for a while under the distant player rule. Long trek, but no Clonegal/Kildavin man would line out for Myshall.

Late Westmeath goal but Laois will be happy with that first half even if we’ve hit over a dozen wides against the wind.

Picky is purring

Half time :grinning: Defending optional today.

It’s samba stuff in the McDonagh not like that scutter down south east. Wexford will know all about it soon enough.

Kerry squeezed by Wicklow today in the Ring, they’ll be hard bet

Scoreline didn’t give a true reflection

Laois need to get on with it now, watching the likes of Kildare giving Galway the flutters shouldn’t sit right.

We’re lacking physicality in the forwards. Too many dancers not enough timber. It goes against our nature

London Antrim all square 45 mins in

Derry beat Kerry in the Ring :flushed:

Surely Kerry just shadow boxed? You’d wonder did they even bother with an overnight?

That win got Derry into the final - anything less wouldn’t have been enough
