McGrath is Clare’s main marksman

Clare booked their place in the NHL Division 1B final after their fourth consecutive win of the campaign at Cusack Park, Ennis yesterday.

Davy Fitzgerald’s men looked sharp from the outset and had five points on the board without reply by the 8th minute.

Wexford struggled to cope with the two man full-forward line tactic of their hosts and were rocked by a John Conlon goal which left eight points between the sides by the 20th minutes (1-6 to 0-1).
