Replying To JimmyNail:  "Relieved to get the win, it was closer than it really should have been, finished strongly at least. Another couple of injuries we could have done without today, really need to get as many as possible back in this 2 weeks break before we head to London who will be very confident after their great victory in Longford today."
Couldn't get over to Carrick today but it sounded like a very unconvincing win and London will be, as you say, very confident in two weeks. We really needed to be putting at least 10 points on Waterford. Anyhow, looking forward to Ruislip in 2 weeks.

Tbh, Waterford goals were soft, real margin was 10 to 12 points

Very unconvincing. Waterford arguably the better team, Waterford were very wasteful. Midfield was a big issue for us. We were slow with everything, slow kickouts, slow play etc.
On a positive note Jack kelly is fantastic footballler and its great to have Ryan back. And we showed good composure to see out the game in the last ten minutes when it looked like Waterford could pull off a shock.

Which is not suprising to hear as I commented last week that I thought our backline was our weakest link despite playing well enough last week. The break will hopefully serve us well to work on tightening up defence. Big game in two weeks will make or break our season.

Remember lost Diffley and McNamara before half time

Tbh, It was actually an excellent game for a young team, squandered a 9 point lead, Waterford drew level, but was great to see strong substitutions and a strong finish, Waterford kept scoreless for final 20, I'd say playing at Joe and being expected to win created nerves at times, A win is a win, Only a kick of the ball away from being joint top of the table, London will be a bigger test for sure, but the fact that Wicklow and Antrim aren't waltzing along makes DIV 4 very interesting
