Clare minor hurling boss Brian O’Connell is praising the character his side showed despite defeat in the provincial final.
Tipperary claimed the Munster title with a 2-17 to 0-16 victory thanks in part to a brace of second half goals.
Up next for the Banner will be an All Ireland quarter-final which is set to be played on the weekend of June 1st.
O’Connell says his side battled bravely to the end of the contest.
