Clare put stop to Cork’s gallop

Cork 0-16 Clare 0-18

Played in summer conditions before a fine crowd of 6,545, from first whistle to last, this was a game that swayed first one way, then the other.

Ultimately, the sending off in the 59th minute of Cork corner-back Darragh McSweeney proved costly, and the visitors outscored the All-Ireland champions in the run-in, four points to one.
