As expected, Clare had no problem in dismissing the challenge of Kilkenny at Cusack Park, Ennis yesterday.
The Banner men never really had to utilise top gear to see off a hapless Kilkenny, who didn't register their opening score until the 52nd minute, reports the Irish Independent. At half-time the score was 1-9 to no score in favour of the hosts, with David Tubridy grabbing the opening score, a goal in the third minute.
Directly after the break the Doonbeg man got a second goal after substitute Cathal O'Connor made a good break. Further goals were scored by O'Connor, full-forward Timmy Ryan and sub Gary Brennan. Kilkenny's first scorer was midfielder Michael Malley, from play, while free-taker Michael Sanders got his side's other three scores.
