Niall Carew and his charges are making the trip to McGovern Park, Ruislip this Sunday and so are KCLR.
We are sending Brendan Hennessey and Willie Quinlin to the UK to bring you all the action from the round five encounter, as Carlow look to enact revenge after last year’s result.
London, who was just returning from action after the pandemic, ended up producing a stunning comeback where they were trailing by ten points at one stage, to win by a single point in the end. The game had completely changed when Jamie Clarke picked up a straight red card for The Barrowsiders, who struggle without his pace.

Speaking to Scoreline Carlow Captain Darragh Foley about how the opening game last year really affected the side
“It was one that we threw away, to be honest, and it was one that really hurt us as a group.”
“Ill discipline killed us on the day, in the second half we fell apart, so we took a lot of learning from that game.”
After a promising start to the league campaign, Carlow are coming into this tie off the back of two losses, to Laois and Leitrim respectively. Can they avoid another L at the hands of London? London themselves will be hopeful of their first league victory themselves, so tune in this Sunday from 1 o’clock to find out how it will all go down.
