SIX games resulted in six winners and six losers from the opening round of the TUS Clare senior football championship.
With plenty of action, there’s a lot to delve through as The Water Break focuses its lens on the club championship.
Páraic McMahon is joined by All-Ireland winning minor ladies football manager, David O’Brien, ex Clare development squad selector Mike Brennan and sports reporter Seamus Hayes to reflect back on the first round of the Clare SFC.
On the agenda:
- First blow to Éire Óg in initial showdown with Kilmurry Ibrickane
- Man-marking works a treat for Townies
- Kilmurry Ibrickane still one of the championship contenders
- Lissycasey lying in the long grass
- Bumpy road ahead for Kilmihil
- Turning around run of form will be tricky for Breckans
- Doora/Barefield get the groove from the grove
- Kildysart kick on with further improvement
- Dual challenge a big obstacle for Corofin
- Ennistymon win could be a turning point
- Legs costly for Doonbeg
- Settled Cratloe showing the way
- Regrouping job for Miltown
- Intermediate run through
For the record, the results in round one were:
Group 1
Éire Óg 0-10 Kilmurry Ibrickane 0-8
