It’s fucking wet lads

Will add to the niggle/violence in the Joe Mc final

Beginning to brighten up. Bevgrand by the time the proper hurling starts.

Fucking keeper

Some start. Carlow forwards on it

Laois’s use of the ball isn’t quite as idiotic as Carlow’s is so far

Umpires need to be pulled for FLAGRANT use of Hawkeye. That was a mile wide

Chris Nolan having a horror show

Both sides understandably a bit nervy early on. But Laois were by far the better team for the first 25 mins. Two points no lead at all given how much on top they were.

Shooting from ridiculous angles. A wide ridden game. Carlow with 11 in the first-half alone.

8 from 24. They have settled now though.

Carlow have a plan and it’s to go long. If it doesn’t work, they will go longer

Eoin Reilly caught in two man’s land says Dalo

Making heroes of Podge Delaney and Fiachra C Fennell. When Chris Nolan does get the ball, invariably it’s out on the sideline. Be surely worth moving Doyle and Mouse further out the field and have them taking on this mid-range shots. Laois look like a team determined to avoid 3 final defeats in a row. A Joe McDonagh level air of Kilkenny 00’ about them.

Hurling is in a dark place if these two are the pick of the 2nd tier.

The touch and handling is atrocious
