Clare 0-24
Kilkenny 2-16
CLARE BOOKED A place in the All-Ireland senior hurling final for the first time since 2013 after a stunning second-half fightback against Kilkenny in Croke Park.
A superb Eoin Cody goal helped Kilkenny lead 1-10 to 0-8 at half-time, and when Billy Ryan found the net in the 47th minute, it looked like Clare were in real trouble as they trailed by six points. But points from Mark Rodgers, Aidan McCarthy and Tony Kelly helped them through to the decider on Sunday 21 July.
