A few perhaps dubious things went against Antrim with referees decisions at the end.
Who the hell was marking the guy who was clean free in front of goals though?? That's what killed us not decisions.
We still did ourselves proud. Took some fine scores and to be honest looked as good as a lot of what was on view in the next match. Much promise shown and we can't go blaming referees or pin pointing individuals. Once we got our subs made and got the team stabilised (from about half way through the second half) we controlled a lot of that game and it should have been well away from Wicklow in extra time. Wicklow aren't bad though and at times looked like they'd steam roll us. They've some good footballers in the Carlow man, the number 7 and the number 14.
I hope in the future we don't play with so big a gap between the half forward line and the full forward line though!
