In Conversation with Darragh Foley - Carlow's highest scoring Inter-County Footballer of all time
The Left Wing Back PodcastShow Notes
Recently we had the pleasure of sitting down with recently retired Carlow Senior Footballer Darragh Foley at Lambert's Coffee Shop. Foley finishes up as Carlow's leading scorer of all time on the County scene. We chat to Darragh about why he retired. We do a deep dive into his time with Carlow. We chat about some funny moments and also some emotional ones which Darragh doesn't shy away from. The man exudes excellence as much off the pitch as he does on it and here we get a real flavour of that. Unmissable viewing & listening.

What a weekend that was! Old Leighlin showed exactly why they are champions by pulling the rug from Eire Og. Rathvilly also progressed to meet them once more. At Intermediate Tinryland have given themselves a chance to return immediately to Senior but they will face a Ballon side determined to get there at the second time of asking in recent years. A youthful Palatine side caused the shock of the weekend perhaps by knocking out a fancied Leighlinbridge side in the Junior A Semi Final. While O'Hanrahan's got by a stern Naomh Eoin challenge. We bring you all the final line ups, Camogie final previews, Ladies Football final reviews and much more!
