A promising opening twenty minutes against a strong wind augured well for Carlow U21 hurlers in their Leinster U21HC joust with Dublin in Dr Cullen Park tonight.Displaying great grit and confidence they looked to be more than a match for the metropolitans.The concession of a goal, the last score of the half provided Dublin with the platform and the boost...

Carlow 1-14 Westmeath 4-10

Monday 23rd May, 2011

It's no exaggeration to say that Carlow threw this one away, helped by three unfortunate goals but not the sole reason.With minutes to go to half time Carlow had got themselves into a good position - three points down and the benefit of a gale force wind to come. However the concession of 2-1 in the closing minutes left them with a mountain to climb.The half time...
