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

This game has real stakes, not like tomorrow’s Munster ‘final’.

Poor and edgy stuff… with some spots of excellence… like that fiachra c fennel name and score a moment ago

You’d imagine Kildare would beat either of these

Picky is a tidy hurler

Laois still not pulling away despite Carlow’s 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.

They’ve 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 didn’t excuse their awful shooting. We shoulda murdered them and that doesn’t bode well for next year.

But fuck next year, there’s 30 young lads here chanting Pickys name and that’ll 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.
