Match Highlights


Neylon and O’Neill weave magic to help Clare banish demons and Deise

Report by Eoin Brennan for the Irish Examiner newspaper

Clare 1-22 Waterford 1-8

Clare bounded back into contention for provincial minor honours after brushing aside the challenge of Waterford in Cusack Park Ennis to tee up a home quarter-final against Kerry on Tuesday evening.

Sucker-punched by a brace of third-quarter Tipperary goals in their competitive bow seven days earlier, this time a determined Banner seized total control for the full hour to run out facile victors over a disappointing Deise.

Top-scorer Cian Neylon (1-5), chief architect Jack O’Neill, defensive anchor James Hegarty and debutant wing-back Sean McMahon excelled for a confident Clare that would score the first seven points by the 20th minute thanks to braces from unerring freetaker Oisin Whelan, James Organ and the lively O’Neill.

Not even a worthy opening point from a 40-metre Billy O’Connell sideline cut could inspire the lacklustre visitors who, by half-time, trailed by 0-9 to 0-2.

Indeed, the result would be put beyond any doubt by the two-thirds mark when the hosts resumed in scorching fashion to outscore Waterford by 1-5 to 0-1 and soar 14 points clear.

Neylon’s opportunist goal would eventually be matched by a Conor Tobin rebound but it was merely a consolation for a Waterford side that now face another long journey to Limerick for their quarter-final clash next Tuesday.

Instead, home substitute Fred Hegarty raided for the last three points to power Clare into a knock-out showdown with with the Kingdom back in Ennis.
