Brian Lohan’s men ran out 3-26 to 3-24 winners.
Given the nature of the setbacks both had suffered last Sunday, this game essentially boiled down to who could cope best in recovering from that psychological hit. In that light Clare ’s response was highly impressive. They threw away a winning position on home soil seven days ago against Limerick, but faced with a tricky test as they headed to Cork , they met it head-on. Suddenly their Munster championship journey has achieved lift-off for 2024.
