Kilkelly in sparkling form as Tribeswomen foil Clare’s title challenge
Clare were enhanced by the return of the injured Moira McMahon but even her presence in the half back line failed to deter a resolute maroon and white who were anxious to make amends for not taking the spoils in Croke Park on September 21.
In a very enjoyable contest watched before a huge audience, Galway were put on guard early when Aoife Ryan goaled for Clare. However, their response was immediate when player-of-the-match Emma Kilkelly combined brilliantly with Ann Marie Hayes to rattle the net after 15 minutes.
