Clare goalkeeper Patrick Kelly has given a wholehearted backing to HawkEye’s introduction to Thurles.

Tipperary were made to regret an awful display of free-taking as a 67th minute goal by substitute Aaron Shanagher sealed a Division 1 semi-final date with Kilkenny.

Clare 2-21 Offaly 0-15: Davy Fitzgerald’s Bannermen, similar to the under-construction main stand which provided an appropriate backdrop to this Division 1B contest, are very much a work in progress.

Clare 2-27 Kerry 0-8: It was all one-way traffic at Sixmilebridge last night when Clare had 25 points to spare over Kerry in the Munster Senior Hurling league.

Clonlara 3-11

Monkeys, orangutans, gorillas… It wasn’t hard to spot the theme of Sunday night’s Spraoi parade through the streets of Waterford as the throngs lined the route for this year’s offering.

Camogie chiefs have deferred the draw for deciding the All-Ireland senior championship quarter-finals, following appeals by both Clare and Dublin.

It was just his second start in two years. But banging over a point in his first play against Offaly settled Darach Honan and allow him revel in the the Cusack Park mid-summer atmosphere.

An “off the cuff” approach can steer Clare past Cork in Saturday’s sink-or-swim qualifier clash, according to two-time All-Ireland medal-winner Frank Lohan.

Not even extra time could separate Clare and Wexford as the sides played out a thrilling draw in Cusack Park.

Clare 1-12 Cork 0-11

Clare boss Davy Fitzgerald refused to elaborate on his controversial midweek comments when quizzed by reporters after yesterday’s Allianz Hurling League Division 1A victory over Tipperary.

Tipperary 0-20 Clare 4-15

Sixmilebridge 1-11 Clonlara 0-11

It began with a phone call 11 months ago. Louis Mulqueen got in touch with Shane O’Donnell’s father looking for his son’s number.

Cork manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy was remaining positive as he reflected on his side's All-Ireland SHC final replay loss to Clare in what was a fittingly high quality and high octane game to conclude the 2013 Championship.

Clare 5-16 Cork 3-16

It was just over two hours before throw-in that Davy Fitzgerald broke it to Clare's three goal hero Shane O'Donnell he was starting.

Clare have gone with the same side, for the third game in succession, to face Cork in tomorrow’s All-Ireland final replay.

Clare have gone with the same side, for the third game in succession, to face Cork in tomorrow’s All-Ireland final replay.

Jimmy Barry-Murphy's decision to recall Cian McCarthy for the All-Ireland SHC final replay against Clare has been supported by his former Cork team-mate Tomás Mulcahy.

Former Cork captain Pat Mulcahy believes 19-year old Shane O’Donnell will be handed the Clare number 14 shirt for Saturday’s All-Ireland hurling final replay.

There’s been quite a debate about the proposed 5pm throw-in for the All-Ireland senior hurling final replay, and not just for the inconvenience.

Darach Honan’s assessment of Domhnall O’Donovan’s €3 million point was to the point: “Fair fucks to him, in fairness.”

He will go down in the All-Ireland hurling final annals alongside Joe Canning but, in all honesty, Domhnall O’Donovan didn’t know much about his point that was heard all around the hurling world.

Cork 3-16 Clare 0-25

Davy Fitzgerald seemed to be alluding to some of the refereeing decisions that went against his Clare team after today's All-Ireland SHC final draw.

Clare and Cork will meet again to decide the destiny of the Liam McCarthy Cup after a momentous decider finished level at Croke Park.

Fra Moloney’s sitting room wall is lined with the usual snapshots — family portraits, communions, confirmations, baptisms and weddings.

THIS is less a game than it is tribal warfare tomorrow, two clans heading up the M7 to do battle in Croke Park. From what I’m hearing though, if it comes down to just support Limerick will have the advantage, probably the biggest crowd to ever leave the county for an All-Ireland semi-final.

I was expecting a tactical battle from the throw-in last Sunday and I was surprised when it failed to materialise. I will be astonished if Clare and Limerick isn’t a tactical engagement.

Clare 1-23 Galway 2-14

Forwards Tony Kelly and Darach Honan are Clare's main injury concerns ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland SHC quarter-final against Galway at Semple Stadium.
