Carlow look to maintain promising start against Garda

WITH this year’s Sigerson Cup being hosted for the first time by Carlow IT they will be desperately keen to be involved in the concluding stages over the weekend of March 7/8.

Carlow got their campaign off to the perfect start with a comprehensive victory over their counterparts from Dundalk last week, but tomorrow is the big test as they play host to Garda College.

Both sides have a liberal sprinkling of inter-county players which should add to the enjoyment of the game. Despite it being Garda’s first outing, they will field a very strong team which will include Aidan O’Mahony, Ambrose O’Donovan (Kerry), Michael Cussen (Cork), Declan Glennon (Westmeath) and Darren Mullahy (Galway), and the home side will have to be at their very best to get the verdict.
