Episode Details

Clare football manager Paul Madden says the rate his side turned the ball over in the first half was a critical factor behind their defeat in Round 2 of the National Football League. Defeat against Westmeath means Clare are still searching for their first points in Division 3 this year. After a bright start for the Banner, Westmeath closed the opening half strongly, outscoring Clare 1-6 to one point in the final ten minutes of the first period. Madden says they were the architects of their own downfall with the amount of possession conceded through unforced errors.
