Our first-bit coverage of the 2022 Carlow senior football championship began with the meeting of Éire Óg and Bagenalstown Gaels.

Beginning the double-header for the opening night games,  Bagenalstown Gaels looked to go that one step better from last year’s semi-finals. They had to get through last year’s beaten finalists first, however.

We were live in full with Brendan Hennessy and Willie Quinlan for commentary and analysis with thanks to Dan Morrissey and Co.
