Kilkenny senior hurling manager, Derek Lyng has admitted the team were guilty of not performing to their highest level in periods during their 2-30 to 2-12 win over Antrim.

"It's something you can't afford to do ever at this level, we did today and we were punished for it," Lyng said after the match.

"We got back into the game very well, they (the players) responded very well and would have been very disappointed with themselves.

"Look we would have taken that (result) beforehand but there's a lot to take from it and it's head down again, simple as that," he added.
