The game had just begun when Mark Rodgers latched onto a long delivery from Rory Hayes and fed Tony Kelly who drilled the ball to the net.

With a host of their big guns back for a first league start - Kelly, Rodgers, John Conlon, David Fitzgerald – the projected maths were already adding up to the same anticipated outcome; a handy Clare victory.
