We are glad to announce that Carlow Assoc London have become one of the sponsors of Mount Leinster Rangers http://www.mtleinsterrangers.gaa.ie/ as they strive for All-Ireland glory.

The Carlow Senior Hurling Champions saw off stern competition from the Wexford champs Oulart-The Ballagh to win the Leinster with a fantastic 0-11 to 0-08 win in Nowlan Park to become the first Carlow side ever to win a Leinster SH club title.

They then went on to beat Loughgiel Shamrocks 0-18 to 2-11 in the semi in Pairc Esler, Newry booking their place in the All-Ireland club hurling final in Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day.

The club itself was founded in 1987 with the amalgamation of the three existing club teams Borris, Ballymurphy and Rathanna the three villages of the parish and since then has enjoyed great success in all grades of Gaelic football, hurling, camogie and Ladies’ Gaelic football.

Club secretary Margaret Byrne said……
“Mt Leinster Rangers GAA Club would like to sincerely thank the Carlow Association London for your kind donation to the club following our recent drive for sponsorship for the training of our senior hurlers to reach and hopefully compete in an All-Ireland senior club hurling final.”

All roads from Carlow and further a field will lead to Croke Pk on 17th March and prove a day not to be forgotten in the annals of GAA sport and we in the Carlow Association London will also be in attendance adding to the support team for our true champions.
