Clare football boss Colm Collins admits his sides performance was disappointing as they fell to a first defeat of the 2022 National League.
Second half goals from Derry saw the Ulster side leave Cusack Park with a 2-13 to 0-10 victory, with that scoreline also seeing Clare’s scoring difference reduced to zero.
Clare trailed by just a point at half time with the wind to come in their favour, but the concession of two goals in a 20 minute spell put the game beyond reach.
Collins says those scores were the turning point, but felt it was a frustrating day all round.
