Flaherty scoring ace again as Clare overcome youthful Laois

CLARE returned to winning ways in Scarriff yesterday where they inflicted a 10 point defeat on youthful Laois.

Played in glorious sunshine, the visitors held their own in the opening 20 minutes but, once Clare found their feet, there was going to be only one result. The game was a triumph for corner forward Mark Flaherty. The Killanena man, who accounted for 3-8 of his side’s tally in the defeat by Galway the previous week, maintained his phenomenal scoring feat, posting 1-12.

Understandably team coach Mike McNamara was more than happy with the result, particularly as the bulk of their scores had come from play.
