Carlow’s Paul Broderick backs boss’s B Championship argument

Carlow attacker Paul Broderick has backed boss Turlough O’Brien’s claim that the Division 4 outfit has every right to take on the top teams in the Championship.

Broderick was yesterday named GAA/GPA Player of the Month for May, another success story from a memorable summer that saw Carlow play five Championship games for the first time since 2001.

They beat Division 4 sides in three of those games — Wexford, London, and Leitrim — but also gave Dublin and Monaghan, two Division 1 teams, major scares.
