Limerick’s Remarkable Turnaround
Clare appeared on course for a home victory as they surged nine points ahead with 15 minutes left. However, Limerick staged a stunning comeback, sparked by Diarmaid Byrnes’ long-range free that found the top corner of the net. This set the stage for further goals from Donnacha Ó Dalaigh and Aaron Gillane, orchestrated by Gearoid Hegarty, to secure an improbable win.
Clare’s Strong Start Falters
Despite an early charge from Limerick, Clare settled into the game, led by Aidan McCarthy’s impeccable freetaking and a goal from Shane O’Donnell, giving them a halftime lead of 1-10 to 0-08. Clare continued to dominate early in the second half, extending their lead to nine points.
Limerick’s Timely Goals
With just ten minutes left, Limerick’s comeback began with Byrnes’ unexpected goal. This was followed by further goals from Ó Dalaigh and Gillane, capitalizing on Clare’s defensive lapses and securing Limerick’s victory.
Conclusion
Clare will lament their missed opportunities and the manner in which they let the game slip away. Limerick’s championship experience and resilience shone through in the face of adversity, earning them a hard-fought win and their first victory at Cusack Park in 34 years. This impressive comeback sets the tone for what promises to be an exciting Munster Senior Hurling Championship.
