Clare take off as tired Tipperary grounded

Tipperary 0-15 Clare 1-16

Manager Ken Hogan was satisfied it explained their poor form for threequarters of this disappointing Allianz NHL tie, and it was a view shared by Clare coach Anthony Daly, whose team were in the same resort a week earlier.

Tipperary led for less than 30 seconds, from the time Eoin Kelly pointed a 30 yards free until Niall Gilligan levelled in the second minute.
