Clare boss Mark Fitzgerald admits it’s a relief to have collected their first two points of the National Football League.
Aaron Griffin’s 73rd minute winner eventually settled a dramatic contest in Cusack Park, with Sligo ending the game with 13 men after two sendings off.

Up next for Clare is a trip to Mullingar on Sunday afternoon to take on a Westmeath side who got their year off to a winning start with victory over Offaly.
Fitzgerald says while his side didn’t make it easy at times, he was glad to see they way they battled to secure the victory.
Elsewhere in Division Three, Antrim were 2-14 to 2-7 winners over Limerick while Down beat Wicklow by 0-18 to 0-13
