There was no joy for the Saffrons on Sunday as they lost out in both codes by the minimum margin. While the hurlers went down to Clare by a point at Casement Park, the footballers, who had led for almost the entire match, succumbed to a late penalty as Offaly mainted their unbeaten run at O’Connor Park since 2007. Next Saturday night’s ACL Div 3 match under the lights at Casement against second placed Louth has now a decisive look about it.
