Kelly’s classy goal sinks Clare
Amazingly, since its inception over 30 years ago Clare have never won the Munster U-21 hurling championship title. Now, following this latest setback to Tipp at Cusack Park, Ennis last night, it is going to take another 12 months at least for Clare to buck this distressing trend.
Only for a very brief period last night did Clare look capable of exorcising the ghost that has haunted them over the past three decades in this grade. But in the end they were unable to match Tipperary’s craft and finesse in a closely fought semi-final watched by an attendance of 5,00-6,000.
