Banner boys turn eyes to senior glory

Clare 2-20 Wexford 3-11

The county’s U21 hurlers, bidding to annex a first provincial crown, had won a 20m free which would have secured them the Munster title after 12 failed final attempts. The free was never struck. Referee Jason O’Mahony was notified by his umpire that Clare goalkeeper Donal Tuohy had stepped outside the square for the previous puck-out. A 65 was awarded to Tipperary. Pa Bourke converted to swing the verdict in their favour.

Mayhem ensued and a garda escort was required to bring O’Mahony safely from the pitch.
