Thu, Mar 16, 2023

The threat of relegation from division one has been removed from Galway’s final game of the Allianz Hurling League away to Westmeath this weekend after a solid performance led to a deserved 1-24 to 0-22 win over Clare in Cusack Park on Sunday.The return of Eanna Murphy, Daithí Burke, Ronan Glennon, Evan Niland, Brian Concannon, and Conor Whelan to the starting 15 suggested this was Galway’s strongest available line-up, but it took some time for them to come to terms with the challenge a lively Clare side posed.

A decidedly sluggish start left Galway trailing by seven points after only 14 minutes of play, as Clare’s attacking formation and restart options proved effective. David Reidy was the most threatening of their inside forwards with a brace of points, while Aidan McCarthy fired over three early frees.
