CONOR BOWE INSPIRED Tipperary to produce a major turnaround in the second half to defeat Clare in tonight’s Munster U20 hurling clash in Semple Stadium.
Tipperary, All-Ireland champions last year at this level and with six players in action here from that starting team, were in difficulty in the first half as Clare dictated the play.
The Banner were full value for their 0-10 to 0-6 advantage at half-time with Cian Galvin and Mark Rodgers both hugely impressive.
But Tipperary took over in the second half as they scored 0-11 without reply before Clare got their first score of the half courtesy of a Galvin pointed free in the 57th minute.
Tipperary finished strong as well with Devon Ryan firing home the only goal of the game from a 60th minute penalty after Andrew Ormond was fouled.
That propels them towards a semi-final clash with Waterford that is scheduled to take place in the Fraher Field in Dungarvan at 3.15pm next Monday afternoon.
The teams were tied at 0-5 apiece after the first water break, Tipperary coming close to netting only for Ormond’s shot to hit the butt of the upright. Clare then enjoyed an excellent phase with their strong display at the end of the half opening up a four-point gap.

Yet Tipperary had quickly wiped that out in the second half as they shot over four points inside the first seven minutes coutesy of Bowe (3) and Kevin McCarthy.
And it was Bowe who raised the white flag that edged them in front in the 41st minute while they went 0-13 to 0-10 at the second half water break.
