SECOND-HALF GOALS from Shane O’Connell and Conor Burke helped Clare clinch the Daryl Darcy Cup as winners of Phase 1 of the Munster minor football championship.
Tipperary were five-point winners when these sides met in the round robin a fortnight ago, but Clare turned the tables in Rathkeale on Tuesday evening to win by eight.
Dermot Coughlan’s Banner will play Cork in the semi-finals next Tuesday, 7 May, while Tipperary must now regroup for a last-four clash with holders Kerry.
The Kingdom held off a spirited Cork side in Austin Stack Park this evening, winning their quarter-final clash by two points.
Cork’s Danny Miskella scored the game’s only goal with a first-half penalty, but the visitors still trailed by 0-7 to 1-2 at the break.
Kerry could never put daylight between the sides in the second half and when Cathal McCarthy pointed with four minutes to play, Cork again trailed by the minimum, 0-10 to 1-6.
Jack Joy and Cian MacGearailt added late points to make Kerry’s win safe.
