Clare boss admits Kerry caused ‘some’ problems

Kerry 1-15 Clare 2-24: A youthful Clare side, playing their first game in the Munster SHL under new management duo of Donal Moloney and Gerry O’Connor, eventually got the better of an improving Kerry side at Austin Stack Park,Tralee.

Moloney admitted his side had learned from playing a Kerry 15 which set up defensively: “We were happy with some aspects of our play, particularly how we finished over the last 15-20 minutes. I think the way Kerry set up caused us some problems in terms of trying to break them down.

“Their goalkeeper did very well and there are things we needed to brush up on as well.
