Pat Bennett’s side head to Belfast on Sunday with the game available to stream on GAA+ and BBC iPlayer

Carlow fans will be able to follow the county’s Allianz Hurling League clash live this weekend as Pat Bennett’s side take on Antrim in Division 1B on Sunday afternoon.

The game throws in at 1pm in Corrigan Park, Belfast, with live coverage available on GAA+ and BBC iPlayer, giving supporters who can’t travel north the chance to watch the action unfold.

Carlow come into the game sitting fourth in the Division 1B table on two points from their opening two outings.

The Barrowsiders began their campaign with a solid 2-18 to 1-11 home win over Down in Netwatch Cullen Park, before suffering a setback away to Wexford, losing 2-28 to 1-21 in Chadwicks Wexford Park.

After two rounds, Pat Bennett’s side are level on points with Dublin and Kildare, sitting behind Dublin and ahead of Kildare on score difference.

Clare lead the way on six points, with Wexford in second on two points but ahead of Carlow on scoring difference.

Sunday’s trip to Dunloy is seen as a key test in a tightly packed division, with every point likely to matter in the race to avoid the bottom two places and keep promotion hopes alive.

The Antrim clash is also the first of two tough assignments in quick succession for Carlow, who return home next weekend to face Brian Lohan’s high-flying Clare in Netwatch Cullen Park on Saturday, February 28.
