Donnellan delivers winner for Clare

It has taken two games, but with this win at floodlit Gaelic Grounds last night, Clare finally booked their berth in the Waterford Crystal SH Tournament semi-final, and an early competitive meeting on Sunday for manager Davy Fitzgerald against his old team, Waterford.

With the teams tied 2-12 to 1-15 as we headed into the one minute of signalled additional time, Limerick had three half-chances of points, all missed, before midfielder Bryan Donnellan finally sealed the deal for Clare.

Worthy winners they were too, but while it was Donnellan with the winning score, the real heroes on the night for Clare were full-back Cian Dillon and returning corner-forward Tony Carmody.
