Hard to judge on a night like that but it is worrying as Antrim were nt any great shakes and we strugglrd In many aspects most notably ball winning and at times workrate in the forwards. Physicality is a major worry . Saying that the subs made a difference . Terrible conditions lets hope a win like that will boost confidence . Early days .

Never going to be a good game.
Antrim will be kicking themselves for standing too close for that last gasp free. Making it a goal scoring opportunity which Fanning blasted to the net.
Both sides hugely understrength and really the safrons looked the better team for most of that game.
The bottom line is of course we got the win.
The reason we got the win was the subs brought on. Reck, the two Codds,CBD and Redmond.
We got turned over a lot and gave them around 15 frees that will have to be corrected quickly.
Down next up in Ballycran. Should be another brace of points but we should tread warily.
We have a name for performing poorly against poor opposition.
Hopefully the weather will be kind next weekend.
A final word about Simon Roche. He plays with a maturity well above his age. He'll be around for years to come.

Horrible conditions all game. Would not read anything into that game. Good to get a win and lucky to do so. Onto next week and hopefully better conditions.
