Impressive Banner see off Premier in cagey affair

[team1]Clare[/team1][score1]1-10[/score1][team2]Tipperary[/team2][score2]0-6[/score2][/score]

It is expected that these sides will meet again before the championship is out should Tipperary overcome Limerick in their final round-robin meeting, so it comes as no great shock that this 60 minutes resembled a game of cat and mouse, with neither side keen to go at full tilt.
