NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION FOUR: Antrim 1-14 Clare 1-7

ANTRIM proved too strong for Clare in a Division Four clash at Casement Park on Saturday night.

Clare got off to a great start with a goal after 47 seconds from Steven Moloney. But Antrim hit back four minutes later for their goal from Paddy Cunningham.

Antrim dominated at midfield and led 1-7 to 1-3 at the interval. The home side controlled most of the second half and with skipper Cunningham popping over points from frees, they ran out convincing winners.
