Jack Leahy emerges to blitz the second half after off-colour first half.
Cork 2-22 Clare 1-19 A COMBINED TOTAL of 1-14 from Jack Leahy and William Buckley maintained Cork’s U20 winning streak against a Clare side derailed by a 25th-minute red card for midfielder Ronan Keane.
There were plenty of All-Ireland winners on either side. Cork togged out 10 players who featured in last year’s U20 success but Ben O’Connor only had room to start eight in a stacked squad. Clare have given a major vote of confidence to last year’s minor champions, elevating seven straight into the starting team.
Buckley was best on show for Cork with two early points before the momentum changed with Keane’s red. Leahy was on fire from there. He created his goal with a terrific turn to sit down his marker and rattle the top corner. They outscored the Banner 1-7 to 0-1 between the 32nd and 40th minutes to move six clear.
