Clare pulled off a fantastic performance to retain their Munster title in a thrilling Munster U21 Hurling Final at Semple Stadium on Wednesday evening.
There was large turnout at Thurles, due in part to the fine weather, and the gathered crowd saw an imperious Clare barrel to victory over their near neighbours and rivals Tipperary.
Jason Forde put in an exhibition of free-taking to keep the Premier County in touch, but they were no match for the Bannerman in truth. Late goals from star man Forde, including a bullet of a penalty, reduced the final deficit, but Clare never looked in danger of losing at any stage, and with a host of players from the senior panel in their ranks, they closed out the game in some style.
Cathal O’Connell pointed six frees from a total of 8 points, and Cunningham, Galvin, and Tony Kelly also grabbed a brace each...

"I was really worried about her going in there because it's not the nicest of environments at all," said Julia. "I tried to persuade her not to go, even the week before I said, 'Helen, you don't have to do this you know... do you really think you could eat a kangaroo's anus?'"
