Round-up: Clare Under-20 footballers book their place in Munster semi-finals via IrishTimesSport
After Clare found the net through Kelleher in the third minute, the Banner had to bide their time, especially during the middle section of the opening half-hour, going 16 minutes without a score after Kelleher pointed in the 12th minute.
Smith and Daithi Hogan continued to get ball into hand, forcing Clare to foul, and Smith took full advantage with his third score in-a-row to put the hosts a point ahead with a lovely free with 10 minutes to go before half time. After the restart, Clare extended their lead to four points midway through the second half with Rory Collins the only Tipp player to find the target in the third quarter as Clare’s tally was boosted by points from Collins, Rouine, and Kelleher.
After both sides were level at three points apiece at the end of a lacklustre opening half, Shane Kelly’s young side booked a last four clash with Cork in Páirc Uí Rinn next Monday after Limerick made better use a strong wind to outscore Waterford by 2-3 to 0-3 in the final 30 minutes.
