Clare won their first Electric Ireland Munster Minor Hurling Championship title since 2011 with victory over Cork at Semple Stadium on Tuesday evening. It was a 1-19 to 0-15 win for the Banner.
The game was a close one in the first half with Clare taking a 0-10 to 0-9 lead into the break. Thereafter, Clare began to dominate and hit 1-4 without reply - Eoin Begley scoring the goal - as they stretched to a lead which they did not relinquish.
Last year, the Banner lost the final in a penalty shootout to Tipperary. Tuesday's victory sealed their fifth ever Munster minor hurling title.
In the All-Ireland semi-finals, Clare will face whichever side loses this Friday's Leinster decider between Galway and Kilkenny, while Cork will face the winners.
Sportsfile's Harry Murphy was at the game to capture to action and the celebrations.
