“I thought we acquitted ourselves really well on the evening though and created good opportunities on goal early on with Dylan Connolly getting through.

“In the second half we had a number of good opportunities as well.

“We lost a goal in the first half where the player cuts inside and scores, hitting it low into the corner, and the second goal was an individual error where the ball is played back and gets cut out.

“Over the night though, I was pleased with how we stuck to the task, given the opposition we were facing.”
