Antrim boss Liam Bradley says he would have been happy regardless of who the Saffrons got paired with.

Yesterday morning's Round 2A SF Qualifier draw has pitted the northerners against Limerick, away from home, and 'Baker' is looking forward to getting it on at the Gaelic Grounds this weekend:

"Ideally, we would have loved to have got a home draw but unfortunately we just didn't have that luck," the Derry man comments in The Irish News.

"I suppose it is a long trip to make to Limerick for a two o'clock game on Saturday, but it is a good opportunity for us. We are happy enough with the draw.

"We would have been happy no matter who we got paired with because the teams in our end of the draw aren't as strong as the other side, but it is just unfortunate that we are away from home.

"We all know how important home venues can be in the Qualifiers. We know we are going to have to battle for every score we get, but if we can get over this challenge at the weekend then we certainly think we can go a long way this year in the Qualifiers." Tweet
