The Banner edged out Cork after a high-scoring clash in Ennis.
DIARMUID RYAN’s strike on seventy three minutes drove Clare into the Munster senior hurling final and their supporters into delirium after they held off the stern challenge of Cork on Sunday afternoon.
A full-house at Cusack Park meant a rip-roaring atmosphere in Ennis, it was evident from the first two scores from Tony Kelly and Ryan Taylor but was abundantly clear at the final whistle when ‘Freed from Desire’ played across the tannoy and the stadium resembled a nightclub. Kelly, Seadna Morey and Diarmuid Ryan closed out the scoring in the first half to see Clare hold a 1-13 1-08 advantage.
Horgan goaled twenty eight minutes later to level matters and ensure a nervy, tense finish was on the cards in Ennis. Clare’s response to this goal was immediate with David McInerney and Shane O’Donnell adding quick-fire points.Crucially Cork never went ahead in the closing stages even though they drew level on a further two occasions.
