REVEALED: Shortlist for Carlow's All Time Great unveiled ahead of draw and online polls

The shortlist of names for the search to find Carlow’s All Time Great has been drawn up and the competition will now begin in earnest. 

Sixteen people have been selected from hundreds of nominations and now the fun really begins.

Carlow Live will shortly launch a series of online polls pitting our nominees head-to-head at quarter-final, semi-final and eventually, final stage over the coming weeks.

A draw will take place this Friday, the results of which will be posted in a video online. Then, the polls will ask you, the reader, to determine who is Carlow's All Time Great.

As you can see, a fantastically varied list of sixteen names has been assembled.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, Fairgreen Shopping Centre; Fitzpatrick's Garages; O'Reilly Oil; Seven Oaks Hotel and Leisure Club; Sherry Fitzgerald McDermott and Woods Contract Cleaners and Maintenance.
