Clare have registered their first win of the 2015 Allianz National Hurling League with a hard fought 2-22 to 2-20 win over Dublin.
Clare began brightly and led by 0-2 to 0-0 in the early stages, before Liam Rushe's opportunistic goal saw the Dubs take control.
This led to a period of Dublin dominance, with Ger Cunninghams side stretching six points clear with ten minutes remaining in the half.
With two minutes to go to the break, John Conlons long range effort found the back of Alan Nolans net, and the gap was cut to two.
Davy Fitzgeralds side were reduced to 14 men just before half time when wing back Brendan Bugler was shown a straight red card for an off the ball incident.
At the break, it was Dublin 1-12 Clare 1-10.
A second Dublin goal from David Dotsy O'Callaghan looked to have put his side back in control, but credit to Clare, they struck 5 unanswered points to keep the game in the melting pot.
Man of the match Tony Kelly goaled just after the hour mark, and after a monster point from Tulla's David McInerney, the Banner never looked back.
Up next is a Nowlan Park showdown with Kilkenny next Sunday afternoon.
