Honan hails indomitable Banner
In Kilmallock last Saturday, the Banner led from start to finish, booking their place in the decider for the first time. Facing Kilkenny, it will be the curtain-raiser to the NHL decider in Thurles on Sunday.
Titleholders Cork got to within two points with five minutes left. The Clare of old would have buckled. But not this team. They closed out with points from standout players Niki Kaiser and Chloe Morey. Built around solid defending, wing-back Morey in particular produced a virtuoso performance — her free-taking impeccable.
