Carlow boss quits after players miss training

CARLOW football manager Mick Condon and his selection team yesterday tendered their resignations, following the absence of a quarter of the panel from Tuesday night’s training session.

The low attendance follows the serious indiscipline that marked Carlow's last league trip of the season, away to Donegal on Sunday.

The Leinster men stayed in Bundoran's Holyrood Hotel the night before and a number of players were seen in the hotel's night club until the early hours of Sunday morning. Condon, who led Carlow to a shock O'Byrne Cup victory over Dublin in January, described the number of absentees at Tuesday's training session as "the final straw".
