## Resource

Éire Óg hurling manager Gerry O'Connor says he's targeting further improvement from his side despite their opening round victory in the TUS Clare Senior Hurling Championship. The Townies picked up their first points of the 2026 championship with a 4-18 to 0-18 defeat of Crusheen. The reigning champions raised three first half green flags courtesy of Darren Moroney and a brace from Danny Rusell before Marco Cleary added a fourth in the opening minutes of the second period. O'Connor says they struggled playing into the wind at times in the second half.
