Fintan O'Toole Reports from SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh Clare 3-26 Cork 3-24 A THRILLING AND pulsating tie produced six goals, but the central outcome was a Clare revival that cast further Munster hurling disappointment on Cork .
Cork looked to have made a critical burst after half-time when they went seven points clear, Patrick Horgan scoring a terrific goal. But Clare took over thereafter with Mark Rodgers, Shane O’Donnell and David Fitzgerald all raising green flags to send them into an unassailable lead. Cork were in front 0-14 to 0-12 but had failed to convert any of their three clear sightings of goal. Darragh Fitzgibbon raced through on occasion but his shot was underhit and Eibhear Qulligan was able to smother. Connolly batted another under pressure from the scrambling defence and the ball flew over the bar. The last fell to Patrick Horgan, again striking with Clare players paying close attention, and Quilligan managed to leap to his side to flick the ball away.
Advertisement Clare knocked over the first three points of the game as they hurled into a stiff breeze, and on a few different occasions had opened up advantages of a couple of points. Cork looked uncomfortable handling Shane O’Donnell’s trickery, captain Sean O’Donoghue moving over to police him from an early stage. Yet by the break Cork had settled and enjoyed a two-point cushion.More to follow…
