There was a great turnout once again at Netwatch Cullen Park for the Hurling For Cancer game, enjoy some of the best pictures from the evening.

It was @BtownGaels who were celebrating after they just about edged out @BallinkillenHC in a closely fought JJ Kavanagh & Sons Junior Hurling Championship final, report by @kieranchas, photos by @pgahern .

Congrats to @padraigamond21 who has been named the SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers Ireland Player of the Month for July.

Ahead of Sunday's JJ Kavanagh & Sons Junior Hurling Final, @kieranchas checks in with both the @BtownGaels & @BallinkillenHC camps and previews the action.

Naomh Bríd proved just too good as they overcame Burren Rangers to be the first team into this year's Intermediate Hurling Championship final .

Happy 21st! @MLRangers . Chris Nolan's nine points helped Mount Leinster Rangers qualify for their 21st senior hurling final since the turn of the century.

Ballinkillen continued the form that saw them end the group stages with a 100% record as they brushed aside Carlow Town on the way to the Junior Hurling Championship final .

Bagenalstown Gaels had to survive a strong half comeback by Mount Leinster Rangers before reaching the Junior Hurling Championship final .

RT @Carlow_GAA: 🇲🇱@Carlow_GAA are again offering generous ticket packages for this weekend’s JJ Kavanagh & Sons Hurling Championship Semi-F….

The three Hurling Championships reach the semi final stages this weekend and there’s much to play for as @kieranchas previews the 6 games.

Adam Nolan's first outdoor senior national title was one of three medals for St Laurence O'Toole AC on the second day of the National Senior Track & Field Championships at the Morton Stadium in Santry.

Ciaran Abbey scored 11 points as Naomh Eoin stunned champions St Mullins in the final round of the group stages, but the teams will meet again in the semi-finals .

An evening to remember for two of the Carlow contingent at @WexfordFCWomen .

It was all too easy for Mount Leinster Rangers as they inflicted a heavy defeat on Bagenalstown Gaels in the final round of the Senior Hurling Championship group stages .

Marcus Lawler was in a league of his own as he won a national 200m title in Santry, while Tinryland AC's Adam Murphy ran a brilliant race to claim bronze.

There was a strong Carlow contingent in Melbourne last weekend to watch the Lions clinch the series against Australia.

Some of Carlow's best ever hurlers put in glittering displays as St Mullins got the better of Mount Leinster Rangers in the phony war of the group stages. It would be a huge surprise if they didn't have a much bigger clash later in the Championship.

Jack Treacy and Craig Wall scored five goals between them as Ballinkillen made sure of a semi-final place this evening with a win over Bagenalstown Gaels.

After losing last year's LFA Junior Cup final to Evergreen, New Oak have been handed the chance of revenge after they were paired with the Kilkenny side in the second round of this year's LFA Senior Cup.

There is always great interest when Mount Leinster Rangers take on St Mullins in the Championship but the game between Bagenalstown Gaels and Ballinkillen is arguably a bigger tie in terms of shaping the knockout stages.
