Laois were never in the contest against Cork on Sunday.
"We weren't good enough"
That's the frank assessment from Laois manager Stephen Duff of his side's performance in their All Ireland Ladies Senior Football Championship opening defeat to Cork on Sunday.
The O'Moore County fell to a 6-13 to 1-5 loss at the hands of the Munster side in O'Moore Park.
Their next outing comes against Galway on Sunday week.
Duff says he wants his players to stop playing with fear:
He and Midlands 103's Pat O'Sullivan talked about the challenge of this All Ireland series after the game:
