Clare 1-10 1-14 Derry

Derry produced a battling display to end a losing run of visits to Ennis.

Mickey Moran's side made the better start and four Ronan Rocks scores and a couple of Paddy Bradley points helped them to a 0-6 to 0-2 lead after 20 minutes.

Clare then hit three of the next four points to trail by just two at the interval.

The home team's revival continued in the third quarter and John Kennedy's side led 1-7 to 0-8 midway through the second half.

However, Derry then re-established control with substitute Jim Kelly scoring their crucial goal after a superb long pass from Enda Muldoon.

Kelly had been introduced for Geoffrey McGonigle.

The introduction of Sean Martin Lockhart for Ryan Lynch also steadied Derry in the closing stages.

Derry manager Mickey Moran was content with his team's performance.

"Not having a game last weekend wasn't ideal and we hadn't had that many challenge games either," said the Derry boss.

"Clare are a decent side so it was good to come away with a good result from here".
