Downes on target as spirited Clare hit back to pip Limerick

Clare 2-9 Limerick 3-4

Clare will now play Waterford for the right to join Cork, Kerry and Tipperary in the semi finals.

Sharpshooter Noel Downes masterminded their comeback, first with a hat-trick of points, and then by chipping in with a well struck goal at a most crucial stage in the second half, to give his side the lead for the first time at 2-7 to 3-2
