Carlow hurling manager Kevin Ryan has set his sights on two points from Sunday's National Hurling League Division 2 opener against Antrim.

The Christy Ring Cup champions make the long trip to Casement Park for their initial outing in the NHL campaign.

Antrim will go into the game as warm favourites, but Ryan believes his side is eminently capable of a result.

He told the Nationalist: "We see every game as a potential two points and that is the way to look at it.

"I wouldn't be putting a figure on points, saying we must get this and we must get that. It is how we perform.

"Obviously we have to pick up points and the priority is to survive in Division 2 and see how we can do after that. It is about performing and getting better after every game." Tweet
