CLONDEGAD kicked off a super Sunday for themselves and neigh- bouring club Lissycasey with a strong and emphatic win over Coora- clare. For the opening period nobody sitting in the stand at Kilmihil could have predicted a 15 point winning margin, though.
When the sides broke for half-time, only a single point had separated them after an entertaining 30 min- utes that saw both sides kick some impressive scores. Trailing by one point on a scoreline of 1-5 to O-9, it was difficult to visualise Cooraclare being dominated so much at the turn around that they managed only a single point during the latter 30 min- utes.
With 20 minutes on the clock, Clondegad had pulled away slightly and led by three but Cooraclare struck back. After some confusion in the Clondegad defence, Jason Lillis picked up possession and fed the ball to Joey Martin who rattled home.
The game was wide open but the door was closed during the first five minutes of the second-half. Clonde- gad simply provided a blitz of scores and pressed forward with intent and this was the defining period of the game.
