CARLOW GAA are hoping for big home support next Saturday 13 May (throw in 5.30pm) as they take on Offaly in a crunch game.

Carlow have produced some scintillating hurling in the Joe McDonagh Cup so far this year and are now within one game of reaching the McDonagh Cup Final.

If Carlow can beat Offaly, Tom Mullally’s team will top the group and qualify for the Final automatically. Even a draw with Offaly would get us into the Final if Laois don’t beat Kerry in Tralee.

In order to help build the crowd and atmosphere which could prove so important for this pivotal game, under 16s will be admitted free of charge and will also be entered in a draw to win a Carlow jersey. Simply print off the below ticket and the child can fill in their name and age and drop it into a box on the way into the grounds. At half-time, three Tickets will be drawn out and the lucky winners will each receive a Carlow jersey.

Carlow GAA are hoping that the atmosphere generated by the home support will inspire the Carlow players to what would be a very important victory.

NB: A child must be in Netwatch Cullen Park when your ticket is drawn to claim the prize.
