Clare have booked their place in yet another Munster Under-21 hurling final.
The defending champions overcame a 14-man Waterford side by 2-15 to 17 points at Walsh Park yesterday evening and will now face Tipperary in next month’s Munster decider at Semple Stadium on August 7th.
Ballyea’s Tony Kelly was taken hospital for treatment on a suspected eye injury sustained early in the first half while the Deise were left to rue the dismissal of Paudie Prendergast for a second yellow card offence
Despite being a point behind at half time Sixmilebridge’s Seadna Morey and Aaron Cunningham of Wolfe Tones both scored goals to help the Banner come from behind to claim a 4 point victory.
Captain Ballyea’s Paul Flanagan says it was a hard fought win and "knew Waterford were going to put them to the pin of their collars and that’s exactly what they did" adding "they have serious championship operators who really came at us in the middle of the second half"
