With the tabletoppers both protecting flawless starts, Clare greater need proved too ravenous for Cork to handle in O’Garney Park Sixmilebridge as a relentless Banner hit as many wides as scores to eventually find their rhythm to fire seven of the last eight points and soar to a fully merited 0-17 to 0-12 victory.
That win, inspired by spinal defenders Ronan Keane and James Hegarty along with Michael Collins and Eoin Oige Fanning, cemented Clare’s passage in the semi-final where they will meet the loser of next week’s derby showdown. Limerick meanwhile did manage to survive a similar ambush from hosts Tipperary in what was a thrilling 1-23 to 1-22 encounter that realistically could have gone either way in a see-saw finale in FBS Semple Stadium Thurles on Tuesday evening.
