We've given the reigning champions a two-goal start but by the end of the game we were playing them off the park.

We said at half-time that we had played poorly but we were 10-10 against the reigning champions. So we knew that we could go on and win the game and we did that in the 20 minutes after half-time.

If we know who we're playing (in the playoffs), ... that could be a start (for Marquis).

From the start of the game I had to put up with the chants and celebrating the goal the way I did helped me get rid of some of the anger.

The fact that they have beaten the reigning All Ireland champions tells you just how big a task we face. We certainly need to get into our stride from the outset - we can't afford to be in a position where we would be playing catch-up.

Having those champions is great in just two years.
