NFL Division 3: Clare 0-24 Laois 2-15Clare had to roll with the punches of a thrilling rollercoaster ride with 14-man Laois before finally unearthing a seven-point second half turnaround to complete back-to-back victories in Ennis. “We’ve only a record of two from four but the last two matches have been wins and we’ve needed them,: admitted Clare Manager Paul Madden. Clare native Killian Roche stepped up to arrow over a two-pointer that ensured that Laois kept their noses in front by the break at 0-9 to 0-8. “That’s the one thing I said to the lads in the huddle afterwards, if I’m going to praise anything from this game, it’s the character. Cormac [Murray] got three points and Jamie Stack is a great tackler and stopped the last kick-out to score the final point.
