Clare edge Cork, Galway rescue draw against Kilkenny, Limerick dispatch Tipperary

There were key games in the Munster and Leinster senior hurling championships this afternoon.

LAST UPDATE | 28 Apr

Clare 3-26

Cork 3-24

CLARE ARE BACK on track in the Munster senior hurling championship after defeating 14-man Cork at Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh. 

A thrilling and pulsating tie produced six goals, but the central outcome was a Clare revival that cast further Munster hurling disappointment on the Rebels.

The pressure was huge on both teams entering this tie off the back of opening round losses last Sunday. Sean O’Donoghue was sent-off for Cork, who couldn’t secure a result despite two late goals.

Galway 2-23

Kilkenny 0-29

Galway captain Conor Whelan rescued a draw when he pointed in the fifth minute of added time against Kilkenny in their Leinster senior hurling clash at Pearse Stadium.

The Cats looked set for victory when TJ Reid put them two in front going into injury-time but after Evan Niland reduced the margin, Whelan saved Galway with his last-gasp score in front of a crowd of 9,631.

Limerick 2-27

Tipperary 0-18 

Limerick had an emphatic victory over Tipperary at the Gaelic Grounds, running out winners by 15 points. 

Aaron Gillane hit 1-8 as the All-Ireland champions stepped up a level from last week’s win against Clare in Ennis.  

However, it wasn’t a perfect day for them. Peter Casey suffered what appeared to be a serious ankle injury after scoring a goal. He was given a standing ovation as he left the pitch on a stretcher. Casey previously suffered a cruciate injury in the 2021 All-Ireland final.
