Louth back to winning ways over Clare

Allianz FL Division 3 Round 2: Louth 1-16 Clare 0-13: Yesterday’s surprise but thoroughly deserved Division Three win over Clare at Drogheda was Louth’s first in the league in two years.

It came on the back of a brilliant last 20 minutes, when a goal deficit was turned into a six-point lead, Clare failing to add to the score top marksman, David Tubridy, picked off eight minutes after the interval.

And while the visitors struggled up front, unable to find their composure after Gary Brennan was denied a rock-solid claim for a penalty, Louth could do no wrong in the latter stages.
