After back-to-back home defeats, Henry Shefflin’s Galway responded with strong showing in Cusack Park to see off Clare.

A poor opening fifteen minutes aside, Galway were significantly better in Ennis and full value for their five-point victory. Daithi Burke, David Burke and Ronan Glennon all logged vital minutes with Shefflin hoping Cathal Mannion will be back for the start of championship as well.
