Fintan O'Toole Reports from Croke Park Limerick 1-21 Clare 1-19 LIMERICK’S PASSAGE TO All-Ireland final day was fraught with anxiety and tension, but they produced a powerful late surge to overhaul Clare in this pulsating semi-final.
Aidan O’Connor’s goal in the 70th minute was the key incident that broke Clare’s resistance, the Limerick forward gathering a delivery from Adam English before racing clear and blasting home his shot. The Ballybrown player knocked over a late free as the insurance score to send Limerick two clear, John Kiely’s side coming from six points down to triumph.
