We went live on Instagram to capture the moment as Carlow saw off Leitrim to secure promotion to Division 3 of the National Football League for 2027.

Many thanks to all the players and coaches for speaking to us and also to Tomas Walsh for providing photos.

Kev and Stevie sit down for the final time of this Carlow Club Championship season.
On the agenda is Grange's IFC success over Ballon, St Patricks JFC 'C' win, Leinster club wrap up and preview for Hurling, Football, Camogie and Ladies Football and much more besides.

Having heard from Rathvilly and Grange voices on our feature county final podcast, we conducted a whistle stop tour to see how the rest of the clubs are embracing the week that's in it.
We hear from St Patrick's player Eoin O'Toole who features in the Junior C Final.
Paddy Byrne gives us the rundown on the Ballon side of things as the contest both the Junior C and Intermediate Finals.
Eire Og mentor Robbie Moore provides a rundown on how things have gone so far ahead of the Junior B decider, with his Clonmore counterpart Jamie Doyle giving us the other side of the coin.
Eddie 'The Kid' Dermody sizes things up from a Leighlinbridge perspective as part of the backroom team, while their Junior A final opponents are the Fighting Cocks and livewire Emmet Moran tells us how they've been getting on.
Finally, it's the turn of James Clarke to give us the view from Old Leighlin as they prepare to meet Rathvilly in the Senior decider.
