Interest in the graded championship is holding up as the semi-finalists head for Croke Park
He says that there was no problem getting the engagement of his panel even though they might have disappointed at getting relegated from Division Two a year after they had gone up and with the experience of Sam Maguire last summer.
“It’s probably been buoyed up by the fact that Westmeath have done so well having won the Tailteann last year.” Niall Carew’s Carlow have had a second good run at the Tailteann, again reaching the quarter-finals where they lost in Belfast against Antrim, who now face Meath. Their manager is happy with the achievement and above all the number of matches.
He believes that the media profile has been good, which is another asset for the new competition and encouragement for participants. It had been hoped to stage this weekend’s Tailteann semi-finals as a double bill in Croke Park with no competing fixtures. Instead the most box-office of the Sam Maguire preliminary quarter-finals, Galway v Mayo, will throw in on Sunday afternoon.
