Must win game on Sunday & I think we will beat them.

Always a battle with Carlow, quite literally, but we usually fare better with them at home.

Fair play to all involved today. Antrim were awesome and the tactics worked well. We looked like a team capable of surviving in this league. Under pressure, Davy didn't flinch! Going into the Dublin game, it's game on!

Not sure I would describe it as 'awesome' but credit to them, good result and what was needed.

I thought the ref was more than fussy with a lot of strange calls and ultimately it started to irritate Carlow who lost their discipline totally.

I would still be concerned that at least 2 of our forwards were very largely anonymous. And some of the shot selection in the second half was poor enough - quite a few wides and dropped short.

In fairness the attitude and work rate couldn't be faulted.

We are a tough crowd to please 😅 Personally, I feel that beating a team by double figures that we have notoriously struggled against, regardless of who's been the manager, should without doubt be enjoyed. Keep it going and give Dublin a good rattle. Up the Saffron!

Aye "awesome" stretching it, still a fair few balls lumped down into a 2 or 3 on 1 situation in the forwards. Carlow were very poor and I don't agree that we struggle with them, not at home anyway.

I think probably time to give someone else a chance instead of Paul Boyle, hasn't been doing it this season (or a fair whack of last season).

Great to get a win. Carlow's physicality can cause us issues at times.

Is nail McManus getting a Laochra Gael?

Saffrongael · February 22, 2026, 08:10:27 PM

Talk the Dublin game will also be in Corrigan

Yeah, this week.

Took the tribe to the game today and I'll tell you what, never again.

From what I saw we looked a better side, Johnstone at 11 was good. Looked a better balance than the Clare game.

Saffrongael · February 22, 2026, 10:09:58 PM

Poorest crowd I have seen in Corrigan in quite a while I have to say

Na Glinntí Glasa · February 23, 2026, 09:26:14 AM

Much better yesterday all over the pitch and its good to get a win under the belt.

Keelan Molloy was a big miss this past few games and had a fine game in midfield. The players it seems have rallied behind each other and its good to see.

On another note the pitches are a mare at the moment with the weather and constant rain and Corrigan was laid bare for that fact. You can see why the pitches are remaining closed for clubs with the condition they would be left in after a game.

I assume Dunloy aren't keen on hosting the Dublin game ?
