Loyal boss Stack ‘amazingly proud’ of players despite loss

There will be plenty of "what ifs" about Shane Carroll’s late missed free around Rock Street for some time to come but Stephen Stack, not surprisingly, wasn’t apportioning any blame on his forward.

Having shown impressive accuracy for the majority of the game, it was their fourth wide, Carroll’s first, that proved the most costly in the last minute of normal time.

However, Stack was stoutly defensive of a player who had a 100% record from his three earlier frees.
