Limerick seal final slot as Clare pay penalty

Limerick 1-13 Clare 0-10

A draw would have done Limerick but the two teams went hell-for-leather in search of the win — the visitors showing enough craft to maintain their unbeaten run.

Limerick won the toss and captain Seanie Buckley — who would go on to play an inspirational game — opted to play with the wind. For the opening 18 minutes all went to plan for his side, as they led 0-5 to nil.
