Having beaten Buttevant in the opening round confidence was high heading into this meeting of our near neighbours. However, we met a very strong Grenagh side that started brightly and we were behind on the score line 0-4 to 0-0 after 10 minutes. Gradually we rallied and at half time Clyda scoreline was 1-3 to Grenagh 1-7. In the second half Clyda were well on top and narrowed the gap to a single point with 5 minutes remaining but Grenagh scored a second goal against the run of play that put 4 points between the sides again. Final Score Clyda 1- 6 to Grenagh 2-7.
