This Dan Shanahan Willie Maher duo may not be the geniuses we were lead to believe.

1063

Couldn’t get to it. That fucker Joe Troy on Midlands 103 is some dose.

1064

Still better than big Pat

Carlow hurlers never feared Kildare. Kildare are only gym monkey hurlers.

Good to see Mouse Kavanagh back in the fold.

Great to see a stonecold Carlow legend becoming the official photographer to Carlow GAA. One of the good guys is Fishy.

Chastening defeat for Kildare today.

1068

Kildare seem to be going flat out since Jan. Won the Kehoe cup and had a great league. However panel depth would be shallow like all Joe Mc teams there and I’m imagining they are running on empty.

Contrast that with Carlow who showed disdain for Kehoe cup and league and were only really peaking for today.

They’ll need more than Naas to get to the next level. But they have come a long way in a short space of time to be fair

That’s a fair scutching. When Carlow have Mouse, James Doyle and Chris Nolan hurling well they’re a strong Joe McDonagh Cup team and higher than the No.18 ranking the OTB boys had given them not so long ago.

Maynooth are slowly coming. Celbridge are in decline though. They were robbed of a Leinster a few years back vs Carrickshock.

There was an article in the examiner last week about how more clubs in the county are becoming represented in squads rather than the usual 5/6.

Where does @Locke have Carlow currently in his Power Rankings?

1073

Maynooth are putting in incredible work, huge numbers

1074

Knocking on the door. Very disappointed to see Laois losing today.

1075

Duignan has Offaly purring

1076

Kildare are playing Offaly in this in Hawkfield :grinning:

1077

They had to go somewhere, Conleths has finally fallen down around their ears

1078

Surely there’s another option?

That one in Kildare Town that you pass on the Cork-Dublin train line?

1079

Mate, if Conleth was the ‘best’ they had, do you really think there was any alternative?

Its a dangerous precedent to be playing these games on soulless training pitches.

Should have coughed up home advantage.

Shoulda been made to. There was no venue fixed up til yesterday. Shambolic.

Kildare are playing all their home games next year in OMP. That’ll sting
