Players hope draw with Galway can spark Carlow rising

Carlow hurlers Seamus Murphy and Richard Coady are hopeful Sunday’s league stalemate with 2018 All-Ireland finalists Galway will help grow the game in the county.

Since Colm Bonnar’s appointment as Carlow hurling manager at the end of 2016, the county has lost only seven of their last 25 competitive outings, adding three pieces of silverware to the trophy cabinet — the Christy Ring, Joe McDonagh Cup, and Allianz League Division 2A title — during this time.
