The foundations of the win came in the opening fifteen minutes of the second half, when a Pat Burke goal saw Clare outscore their opponents by 1-5 to 0-1, after leading by 0-8 to 1-3.

Fermanagh goaled inside the opening ten minutes when Sean Quiqley fisted to Joe Hayes net, but the Clare repsonse was immediate, and led by captain Gary Brennan and Shane McGrath, they led by two at the break.

That purple patch after half time opened a gap that wouldn't be closed, even though the Northern men hit 1-4 unanswered in the closing stages, Quigley with his second goal from the penalty spot.

Man of the match Gary Brennan finished with 0-5, four of those from frees, Shane McGrath contributed 0-4 from play, with Pat Burke helping himself to 1-3
