The Banner overcame Limerick by nine points at the Gaelic Grounds, but were kept honest by the home side who trailed by just 0-12 to 0-10 at half-time.
In the second half though, Clare pulled away and won 2-20 to 1-14, with the Banner goals coming from Peter Duggan and first Aaron Cunningham.
The Wolfe Tones man though was stretchered off late on after picking up a knee injury.
