Clare Too Strong For Spirited Offaly

A late surge wasn't enough for the win.

It was defeat for the Offaly ladies Football team on Sunday. 

A late goal from Emma Hand wasn't enough to pull off a late comeback as the Banner took home all two points in the first round of the All-Ireland Intermediate Championship. 

Michelle Mann, Róisín Corkram & Emma Hand all impressed for the Faithful, but Clare ran out winners in the end by 1-17 to 1-12. 

Brian O'Ruairc's side head to Omagh to face Tyrone in Round 2 on Sunday, with thrown in at O'Neill's Healy Park set for 2:00pm.
