Laois manager Seamus 'Cheddar' Plunkett offered no excuses for his side's shock Division 1B defeat to Kerry this afternoon, admitting they were second best to the Kingdom.

The hosts at O'Moore Park went down on a 1-24 to 2-14 score-line against Ciaran Carey's charges and afterwards Plunkett said that his side were outworked by the underdogs.

"Kerry were the better team and they were more hungry to the ball all over the field," he told RTE Sport.

"We were second best, particularly to contested ball. Kerry are a decent team and they'll put it up to a lot of teams in Division 1B.

"Sometimes you miss that experience when you need to steady things down in a difficult game and we definitely missed that here.

"We have a lot of hard work to do and we knew that the last couple of weeks. It's important now that everyone is patient and stays with the team."
