Clara GAA Notes

Under 16 Football

 

Clara played Na Fianna on Monday last week and ran out winners on a scoreline of 1-18 to 0-10. Clara started better and playing into a strong wind, raced into a five point lead early in the first half. Both teams then exchanged points and as half-time approached Na Fianna began to get a foothold in the game. They scored four unanswered points to level the scores. With only minutes left in the first half Clara found the net and went in 1-09 to 0-09 up at the break. Clara used the wind to their advantage in the second half and played some lovely football to extend their lead in and eventually ran out 1-18 to 0-10 winners. The Clara team was:

 

1.    Wesley Johnson
