Strong second half seals it for Scariff

Scariff 3-16   Corofin 0-13

Level at 0-8 each at half time, there was little to suggest that the second half would provide such a convincing win for Scariff but the East Clare outfit were the dominant force after the break and deservingly won out to keep their hopes of promotion strong.

Corofin went ahead early in the second half when Stephen Heagney scored but Scariff stepped up a great and a goal from Austin Madden together with points from Conor McNamara, Michael Scanlan, Alphie Rodgers and Kenny McNamara saw the home side take control.
