The Clann minor team travelled to Kiltoom to take on the home side in the opening game of the 2012 league. Ruadhri Mc Manus opened the Clann account with a fine point, but Clann 0-3 to 0-1 down within 10 minutes Clann took control for five minutes and were a point to the god following scores from Ultan Harney, Ruadhri Mc Manus and Martin Flannery. The hosts rallied before half time to lead 0-6 to 0-4 at the break.

A brace of points from Ruadhri Mc Manus brought parity, but Brigids went to the front with another point midway through the second period. Once again the Clann lads surged on with points from Ultan Harney, Eoin Forde 2, Ruadhri Mc Manus and Mark Shine, these points were enough for Clann to record a deserved win. Best for Clann were Dylan Colgan, Ritchie Mc Manus, Paddy Harney, Darragh Golden and Eoin Forde.
