The Mount Leinster Rangers trio of Willie Hickey who came off the bench towards the end, full forward John Coady and Captain David Phelan who started at corner forward all spoke to me about what winning their first ever provincial senior title means to them.

The men from South Carlow beat Oulart the Ballagh of Wexford in yesterdays A.I.B Leinster club hurling final at Nowlan park by 11 points to 8 with a strong second half performance.

Not only do the three chat about the game but also they also talk what it means to Carlow hurling and if this is proves they should not be excluded from the top two divisions of the national league.
