New York so good they win tie twice

NEW YORK’s footballers scored their second win over Clare in five days at Gaelic Park on Saturday night, with a 1-8 to 0-9 challenge match victory.

The Bannermen were in New York for a six-day training camp upstate and agreed to play the exiles at each end of their trip.

John Kennedy’s side lost the first game in the Bronx 0-20 to 0-16, less than 24 hours after stepping off the plane at JFK airport, but returned to an overcast Gaelic Park at the weekend looking much sharper after their spell in the Catskill Mountains.
