Clare 0-23 Cork 6-20 

Green flags all over. A sprinkling of controversy with several red cards. Brunches on Abbey Street bridge. Both stands full. Ray-Bans at the ready in the Northern Terrace. Brian Hayes and Conor Cleary wrestling at the edge of the square. An announcement from Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg: here comes the summer.
