This weekend in Div 4, u can be sure Offaly & Antrim will win easily. They already are the 2 sides promoted. Its been a poor effort by the rest of us. Clare fancied their chances after winning the McGrath Cup...but lost all games except Kilk.
Carlow we thought we were well on course...beating Wex away, drawing in parnell pk with the Dubs....in 1st game of league beatin Clare away by 5 pts....we thought we were flying!
Reality hit us when Offaly came to Carlow and bet us by 20pts or so. Ok we went & won in London, but last game was shocking poor effort in Belfast going down by 6 points to Antrim. Since then a few of our better players have walked off the panel...same as every year in Carlow.
Hate doing it against my own county, but i was lookin at the odds for games at wkend. They have Cw 5/6 v Tipp 6/5. Im lumping on Tipp knowing what i do about the fall outs in Carlow. And most of the most talented guys in Cw are playing Leinster U-21 semi in Newbridge this weekend too. The 6/5 is guarenteed money!
Carlow U-21s are in leinster semi 4 1st time in 24 years, thats building on minor side who got to leinster final last year. Future looks good 4 Carlow, but this Sunday, no Tipp will win, i guarentee you that.
Sorry, back in Div 4...Antrim are sure of a win too.this wkend..so its Off, Ant promoted & into Qualifiers too.

Not 100% sure what you mean AZ.
Its not just in the last 6 months that people are struggling with addiction in Ireland, or the world at large.
Heroins been ruining intercity areas since as long as I can remember.
What I meant by growing out of it was the average recreational drug user. No one that I know of, didnt make it out when they decided they'd had enough. Maybe its a demographic thing. Maybe thats because they stayed away from the really bad stuff. (I realise how ridiculous that might sound, but I firmly believe that heroin and crack cocaine are the devil incarnate of the drug world - not that im saying anything else is ok before the usual suspects round me up). Its hard to know.
