Three goals either side of half-time ended a Dublin challenge fatally wounded by Donal Burke’s early withdrawal.
A TONY KELLY hat-trick laid down a marker of Clare’s progress and gave them a semi-final shot at redemption against Kilkenny in a fortnight’s time.
The final margin came to 18 points, a far cry from the nervy comeback they required to surpass Wexford at this stage last year as Brian Lohan’s side continue to evolve. Diarmuid Ryan had started at centre-back with a brief to both track Burke and make him follow Ryan’s upfield bursts. By then, they were already 1-2 to no score behind, Kelly rifling to the bottom corner when fastest to a breaking ball.
The first pair were created by David Fitzgerald rampaging all too easily into open country to play in Mark Rodgers and Kelly. From there, it was about dressing the scoreboard with Kelly racking up 3-4 and new free-taker Rodgers accounting for 1-11 .
