AN exhibition of free-taking by Ryan Clifford helped Cork to a flattering nine-point victory over Clare in the ESB Munster MHC semi-final at Semple Stadium last night.

THE chances of the Credit Union Dr Harty Cup final being an all-Waterford affair were dashed at Bansha yesterday where St Flannan’s crushed the challenge of Coláistí na nDeise in a disappointing semi-final.

A 39 point margin. Doesn’t that say it all, about this second-round Harty Cup match in New Inn yesterday afternoon?
