As the Division 2A Allianz National Hurling League unfolds, Carlow finds itself in a favorable position with a flawless winning streak.
The team is gearing up for a challenging encounter this Saturday evening as they prepare to face their neighbors, Laois, at O’Moore Park.
Carlow has demonstrated commendable form in the league so far, securing two victories on the trot. The team’s manager, Tom Mullally, is cautiously optimistic about their performance but acknowledges that the upcoming match against Laois is their most formidable challenge yet. Despite Carlow’s triumph in last year’s Joe McDonagh Cup, Mullally considers Laois to be the favorites for the impending game, “I think they would probably be the team everybody would be looking to as the form team in this group.”
Reflecting on their previous encounters, Mullally highlighted that Laois had a slight edge in performance, mentioning, “We were lucky to get the draw here at home.” Despite Carlow’s two wins in the current campaign, Mullally is well aware of the challenge posed by Laois and the need for his team to elevate their game.
The manager’s measured approach suggests a healthy competitive spirit within the Carlow camp, emphasizing the team’s focus on the task at hand. Mullally expressed his team’s readiness to face Laois head-on, saying, “So look, we’ll go there with two wins to our back, and take it on and see where we are at the end of it.”
Fans can look forward to an exciting match, with Brendan Hennessy and Terence Kelly providing live commentary on KCLR, thanks to the sponsorship of Ray Whelan Limited.
As Carlow steps onto the field at Laois Hire O’Moore Park, they will be driven by the desire to extend their winning streak and solidify their position as strong contenders in the Division 2A Allianz National Hurling League.
