CLARE manager Mike McNamara has praised the character of his side despite losing their NHL opener to Galway (2-24 to 3-17) on Sunday.

“We’re on the road now,” said the former All-Ireland winning Banner selector.

“We were looking for character more than anything else and I think we found it. I would be extremely happy with the manner of the performance and the character of the players.
