Munster Under 17 Football Competition – Tipperary 3-10 Clare 0-7

Tipperary led by 1-3 to 0-4 at half-time thanks to a goal by centre-back Colin O’Riordan. Tipperary full-forward Tom Kirwan added another goal early in the second half but three quick points by Clare left just a goal between the sides midway through the second half. However, a third Tipperary goal by wing-forward Michael O’Connor secured the victory for Tipperary as Clare were held scoreless in the final quarter.
