Replying To CarlowJuniorB:  "Serious bottle shown to get over that. Incredible group of players"
Really hope they get a big crowd for the London game. They deserve it. To go to Ballycran and Mullingar and come back with statement wins like those is sensational.

Also, we should remember what happened last November, when pre-season preparation was thrown into chaos so late in the day. Pat Bennett deserves a lot of credit for turning it around after a difficult start.

The first 40 minutes was atrocious yesterday but fair play to the lads for digging in and should/could have won the game in normal time and extra time. It would have been easy to coast to the full time whistle. It can't be underestimated the impact of not having Mikey Bambrick, Colm Hulton, Eoghan Ruth, John Murphy. Was Colin Byrne also injured?

Focusing on the positives, I thought Lee Walker, Conor Doyle and Jamie Clarke were outstanding. Jamie's direct running was the reason we got back into the game in the first place. Conor Crowley was also unmarkable when he came on, 6 points from play is a great contribution.

Very disappointed with the crowd, I was shocked when I walked into the grounds. Antrim were never going to travel but how many were there from Carlow? 600 odd?

Will assume the match will be against Leitrim in two weeks and they will be gunning for us after the league game.
