Laois fell to a first league loss of 2024 in Laois Hire O'Moore Park.
We now know where we are and right now, we're second best.
That's Willie Maher's assessment of Laois' place in Division 2A after their defeat to Carlow on Saturday evening.
The O'Moore County manager had highlighted the meeting with Tom Mullally's side as being the first opportunity to see where his team stand.
The Joe McDonagh Champions were superior throughout last weekend's meeting in Portlaoise, leaving Laois under pressure for the remainder of the league season.
Maher says despite the disappointment, it's important to keep a sense of perspective.
He reviews Laois' loss with Midlands 103 commentator, Jack Nolan:
