Tulla 1-20 – Clarecastle 1-15 at Dr Daly Park, Tulla
A PRECURSOR to their second round championship meeting at the end of May and it was the home side who continued their recent good form with a second successive win while subjecting the Magpies to their third straight defeat in the process.
The writing was on the wall for Clarecastle when finding themselves 1-11 to 0-09 in arrears at the break despite having the aid of a slight breeze. Danny O’Halloran was the goalscorer for the home side midway through the half and it meant that Tulla was always that bit ahead of their group rivals on the turnover. Jonathan Clancy made it interesting when striking a late goal to reduce the deficit to three but Tulla had in vested too much in the game to let it slip at that stage and upped the ante once more to cement another confidence boosting victory ahead of their championship opener against the Mills.
