Clare kick on for promotion

Clare 1-20 Longford 1-9: Clare’s promotion aspirations are still on track after a merited 11-point win over visitors Longford at Cusack Park, Ennis yesterday.

Colm Collins’ charges are now on eight points and a win over Kildare in Newbridge next Sunday would see them ply their trade in Division 2 next season.

The O’Farrell County were first off the mark when team captain Michael Quinn grabbed a goal on six minutes following a delivery by Barry McKeon.
