Antrim delivered on their promising development in Westmeath yesterday.
The drive to win, mixed with a small bit of naivety ultimately led to a disappointing All Ireland defeat for Westmeath.
That's Michael Finneran's reading of the Lake County's first round 2-17 to 4-7 defeat to Antrim.
The Westmeath manager saw his side rattle the net through Aoife Connolly, Rachel Dillon, and a brace from Anna Jones.
It was Antrim who won out, thanks in no small part to the goal and seven points Orlaith Prenter scored for the Saffrons.
Finneran tells Jason Keelan that despite the defeat, he's happy with his team's application:
