Dubs dig deep to break Banner

Clare boss, Eamonn Fennessy described the dramatic conclusion to this pulsating tie as “heartbreaking”, after his young charges saw two massive decisions go against them, enabling Dublin to snatch the honours.

The Banner boys had been the better side for most of the game but had been pegged back to parity by a gutsy Dublin unit.

Right on the hour, Clare’s Bobby Duggan appeared to have put his side in front with a free from wide on the right. The shot was waved wide though and the decision confirmed after consultation with referee, David Hughes.
