Brave Banner flying again
In arctic conditions, Clare utilised a support game which required plenty of running, and despite the fact that four of their players saw club U21 action on Saturday — one, Seadna Morey, endured extra time on top of that — they held the visitors at bay for a good victory.
For their part Galway were sluggish enough the previous weekend in Ennis, when they wore Connacht jerseys and lost to Munster, and their start yesterday was no better. The impressive Colin Ryan opened Clare’s account early from a free and the home side maintained that initiative for the rest of the half, aided by the wind.
