Tough going for Clare and now another daunting task

Clare 2-9 Waterford 1-10

Clare’s win has set up a semi-final meeting with Tipperary, who had a whopping 21 points to spare over them in the first round, and, on this performance, there is nothing to suggest that they can turn things around next time.

The standard of hurling in the opening half was particularly poor, both sets of attackers guilty of many bad wides.
