Cunningham to rescue for Clare

Clare 5-19 Tipperary 1-25

Alas, the county’s U21 outfit remain afloat in the championship, having survived this semi-final cliff-hanger against neighbours Tipperary by the skin of their teeth.

An Aaron Cunningham effort on 58 minutes rescued Clare’s cause and in extra-time the reigning Munster champions didn’t need a second invitation, six unanswered points in the first period opening up a 3-19 to 1-22 advantage at the second change of ends.
