Hehir Laments Slow Start As Galway Defeats Sends Clare To Camogie Relegation Scrap

Clare’s focus in the All Ireland camogie championship is now on the relegation battle after a second successive defeat.

A battling performance was not enough for the Banner to turn over last year’s beaten finalists Galway, who weathered a late storm to seal a six point win.

Two injury times goals for Ger O’Connell’s side proved consolation scores, with a relegation showdown against Westmeath now on the horizon for the squad.

Captain Clare Hehir admits a slow start to the game left them with too much work to do.
