"The players love it and it’s much easier to come out when you are winning and get a bit of reward for all your efforts," Carroll told CRKC Sport after the match on Sunday.

"They always come to training with a smile on their face and you can see it by the honest effort they put in on the pitch," he added.

"A match that you get out of by a point is worth any amount of training sessions. I would have preferred if there was a bit more in it by the end but I couldn't have asked for better preparation."
