10-10 at HT with Laois. It was looking bleak there for a while when Laois went 5 up.

Shane McNaughton on now, also Johnny Campbell playing from the start

Eddie McCloskey sent off, straight red after a deliberate strike on a player

That was stupid. Not looking good.

3 behind going into the final moments.

Laois 0-20 Antrim 0-16 FT

Bad result.

Gave them a six point lead at start of match but level by half time, seems Neil McManus scored nearly all the scores. He's some player all the same and can't do it on his own.

Though difficult when a man down away from home.

The other forwards could do with stepping up, in fairness out of McManus's total of 0-13, 0-2 was from play, frees still have to be put over though.

That's true Minder, but was listening to the game on the radio and he was on the ball a hell of a lot.

Carson is not fulfilling his full forward role by all accounts. Great display by McManus, but a poor result all the same!

A county hurler should be quick to deal with the quicker pace, which carson is not. If he used his size to his avantage then it would be fine, but in truth he is also poor under a high ball also. I understand that dinny is trying to find new players to build on the team from last year, but we need results too.

That division is very close in the standard from strongest to poorest. There are no games which would be easy for any team in that league. We need to get a few results soon. Kerry result was very good, and unlucky against clare.

How do we need results? Limerick and Clare will be in the DIv2 final......

Results are good for championship buzz, March now, people should be busting a gut for places

How don't we need results. We are mid table after 3 games, with everyone below us having a game in hand and we are 2 points ahead of bottom of the table. If we put away these teams now it will take the pressure off us for the rest of the league. As i said in last post there are no easy games, with each team capable of taking points from each other. Therefore it would definitely be better to get a few results.....and it would have left us competing to get to league final.

Results build confidence within the team. When the chips are down later in year, they believe they have the ability to kill off a game when they need to.
