Up next is a showdown with Tipperary on Saturday May 10th at Zimmer Biomet Pairc Chiosiog, with both sides needing a win to keep their season alive.
Clare were without captain Tony Kelly through illness for the Deise defeat, and while Banner boss Brian Lohan had questions over the awarding of a penalty to Waterford, he admitted his side could have no complaints overall.
Elsewhere in the Munster championship, Cork moved top of the standings with a comfortable win over Tipperary
