The Irish Press Cup is going back to the Banner after a five-point win over Galway
CLARE PRODUCED A monumental performance on the big day to claim their second All-Ireland minor hurling title from their fancied rivals Galway.Their defence led by Eoghan Gunning, James Hegarty, and Jamie Moylan limited a Galway attack that had outscored their opponents by 100 points across six games.
Then, Conor Gilligan was first onto a breaking ball and sent Cullen Killeen into space. He shook off a foul and used the advantage to roof the sliotar past the covering defender and keeper. Clare lost full-back Ronan Keane to an apparent hamstring injury while Galway centre-back Donnacha Campbell was also removed at the break.Galway’s skillful short-passing game was being tested like never before and it came under greater stress when Clare added two goals within seven minutes.
Niland had been well marshalled by Gunning and James Hegarty but escaped for three points in a row, the latter pair from play.
