This game has real stakes, not like tomorrowâs Munster âfinalâ.
Poor and edgy stuff⌠with some spots of excellence⌠like that fiachra c fennel name and score a moment ago
Youâd imagine Kildare would beat either of these
Picky is a tidy hurler
Laois still not pulling away despite Carlowâs meltdown in front of the posts
They did last year sure. Laois x2 and Carlow as well.
Laois need to put it to bed now
Every Carlow lad seems hell bent on winding up and hitting a hero point
Great score. Laois surely now.
Jack Kelly has been savage since coming on. He was one of their best players back in 2019 when they beat Dublin. Carlow must be at less than 40% scoring efficiency.
20+ wides in an AI final is disastrous. Laois not flattered by the margin in the end.
Poor game⌠carlow lost it as much as laois won it. Delighted for tommy fitz
Overall pace of the game below Liam McCarthy level is night and day compared to the higher level. So slow
Fair play to Laois if they have 5 video analysts.
Theyâve broken the cup
Relegation next year is a tantalising prize.
I say this in full knowledge of how long it took us to beat them and what it says about us, but Carlow were fucking atrocious there today. Granted they werent allowed get away with the timbering they did in Netwatch but that didnât excuse their awful shooting. We shoulda murdered them and that doesnât bode well for next year.
But fuck next year, thereâs 30 young lads here chanting Pickys name and thatâll do for today.
Fucking delighted for Picky. And a word for Eoin Reilly who had a shaky start but recovered immediately and justified the call to bring him in.
Pints.
Mouse had some nightmare. Surely 7 or 8Wides
Theyâre not charging much them lads
Laois didnt show up last year. Carlow didnât show up this year.
