CLAREโs ALL-Ireland intermediate ladies football campaign got off to a winning start on Sunday.
An arduous journey to Pรกirc Esler in Newry resulted in a 1-18 0-09 opening round win for Clare in the TG4 All Ireland Intermediate Championship Group B.
West Clare Gaelsโ Fidelma Marrinan goaled for Clare in the opening half which set Evan Taltyโs side on their way to victory.
They held a comfortable 1-11 0-03 advantage at the interval and remained in the driving seat for the entirety of the second half.
Evan Taltyโs charges welcome Louth to Clare on June 12th, a venue for the tie has yet to be confirmed. A win would secure their place in the knockout stages.
