Clare 3-16 Kilkenny 1-20 AFTER A COUPLE of seasons characterised by near misses, Clare got hurling silverware on the board tonight in Thurles by landing the county’s first league title win since 2016 .
Donnelly was fouled by Mark Rodgers as he broke clear towards, referee Johnny Murphy showing a black card to the Clare attacker and awarding a penalty as a goalscoring opportunity had been denied. Kilkenny had plenty regrets from their first-half play in front of goal as they struck eight shots wide and dropped another two short. After bagging three first-half goals in the semi-final against Limerick, they hunted green flags early here as well. Cody and Adrian Mullen separately unleashed piledrivers that Adam Hogan and Conor Leen respectively blocked. On both occasions Mullen recycled possession to point, but it remained a first-half clean sheet for Quilligan.
