Munster MHC: Cork 0-19 Clare 2-22

A resounding nine-point victory for Clare in the Electric Ireland Munster MHC in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Thursday night. As a result, the All-Ireland champions remain on course for back-to-back provincial titles, and based on the superior skill and composure they showed in the second-half of this round 5 contest, you wouldn’t bet against them when they take on Tipperary in the final on Monday May 20.
