Clare U-20 Football Boss Proud Of Squad Effort Amid Championship Exit

The Manager of the Clare U-20 Footballers says he's proud of his squad's effort despite their championship exit last night. Clare shipped a heavy 2-20 to 0-07 defeat to the Kingdom in Austin Stack Park, bringing their campaign to a close at the semi-final stage. The Banner , however, did top the phase one table this year, along with securing an impressive draw to heavy favourites Cork in the opening round of phase two. Manager Dermot Coughlan is hopeful they can build on the experience for the future.
