Tipperary punish Clare

Tipperary 0-22

Tipperary emerged winners to ensure their place in the league final next Monday and, while there was never really any doubt about them succeeding, Clare smoothed their passage by wasting goal chances.

Tipp manager Michael Doyle said: “We set out at the start of the league to give a good account of ourselves and we have done that. We are in the final. You can’t ask for any more than that. Our biggest concern now is that we don’t pick up any injuries between now and the championship.”
