AS CLARE SUPPORTERS reflect this evening on an incredible game which kept their team’s championship aspirations alive, it’s likely that they’ll identify a particular 18-second spell as a decisive moment in this afternoon’s victory over Tipperary.
While simultaneously ending Tipp’s championship campaign, the Banner County remained in contention for a place in this year’s Munster Senior Hurling Championship final by recording a 1-23 to 1-21 win at Semple Stadium.
Peter Duggan starred for Clare with a personal contribution of 0-15, but substitute Ian Galvin’s goal in the 65th minute was absolutely pivotal in Thurles this afternoon.
Galvin rattled the net to leave just one point between the teams, yet just seconds earlier Clare were only the width of a post away from facing what would surely have been an unassailable seven-point deficit with only five minutes of normal time remaining.
With Tipp leading by 1-19 to 0-18, substitute Jake Morris was played through on goal by Cathal Barrett. Despite managing to beat Clare goalkeeper Donal Tuohy, the Nenagh Éire Óg player saw his effort come back off the upright.
Clare gathered possession from the rebound, with Podge Collins eventually releasing Galvin, whose strike raised a green flag in spite of the efforts of Tipp goalkeeper Brian Hogan.

Instead of going 2-19 to 0-18 ahead, Tipp saw their advantage cut to 1-19 to 1-18. They countered with a Seamus Callanan point but crucially Jason Forde missed the chance to send them three clear from a free.
John Conlon and Duggan brought Clare level deep into injury-time, Noel McGrath nudged Tipperary back in front in the 73rd minute — 1-21 to 1-20 — but Clare finished strongly thanks to a point from Collins and two more via Duggan.
This is a brilliant camogie match
Well my issue is the Cork goal was a free out ,she threw it into the net ,attempted to strike but missed and the ball ended up in the net from her hand …
@Gerry Campbell: really difficult to see in real time.
@WqM9AAv3: True ,I’m just thick now ,I’ll be grand in a bit .
@Gerry Campbell: You’d be entitled to be a bit upset if you’re a Galway man, big disappointments this year.
@Michael Burke: Ah I’m over it Michael ,small stuff in fairness with all that’s going on in the world ..
Comments closed due to not being allowed to say anything critical about Israel. Thank you The Journal
@Stanley darsh: Whydo Irish people only care about Israel? Ye stay silent about all the other atrocities happening but are constantly talking about Israel?
@Stanley darsh: the hamas fellas were hiding in the school, always using the people as a shield. The people were also well aware hamas were around.
@tbEE5DMm: yeah it’s not fair that Gaza is the only genocide getting attention. Why isn’t anyone paying attention to other massacres around the world. I guess it’s the Anti Semitism which is on the rise all over the world for some reason.
@Sean Money: Yeah also Hamas forced the Israeli soldiers to R*** the Palestinian Prisoners is the Israeli jails.
@Sean Money: Hamas also made the Israeli soldiers commit a Seckual a$sault against the Palestinian prisoners.
@tbEE5DMm: unfortunately Tom the tv told them to
@tbEE5DMm: why does Tom Walsh only care about all the other atrocities and not Israel’s one
@anthony davoren: I care about all of them
@tbEE5DMm: who cares about Palestine or Israel. doesn’t affect us one bit. no respect for armchair humanitarian. if you really care, go out there and support them.
@Sean Money: How do you know that the people were aware that Hamas were amongst them? You’re inferring that the victims are in some way responsible for being slaughtered. Given that Gaza has been flattened, that huge numbers of Palestinians have been forcibly removed from their homes and that there are so many no go areas for the Palestinian population what exactly do you suggest that those innocent victims should have done?
Well done Cork banks of the lee
